Create Pinwheels for Peace! The Arts Council will be joining an international movement making pinwheels for International Day of Peace.
Come join us for this free workshop. Students will create pinwheels of all shapes and sizes. As part of the creation process, the students will write their thoughts about “war and peace, tolerance, living in harmony with others” on one side. The writing can be poetry, prose, haiku, or essay-style – whatever writing form is appropriate as folks express themselves. On the other side, the students will draw, paint, collage, etc. to visually express their feelings. Then we’ll assemble these pinwheels and in recognition of International Day of Peace, Sept. 20, 2008, everyone will “plant” their pinwheels outside at the Arts Council’s garden, as a public statement and art exhibit/installation. The spinning of the pinwheels in the wind will spread thoughts and feelings about peace throughout the country, the world!

Admission: Free!
