Whole Planet-Artful Dreams of Peace Workshops
February 6, 13 and 14 2010

The Ann Arbor Art Center is partnering with Whole Foods Markets and their Whole Planet Foundation to offer Whole Planet-Artful Dreams of Peace Workshops. These FREE family workshops will be held on Saturdays, February 6 and 13 from 1:30 – 3:30 pm, and Sunday February 14 from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm at the Ann Arbor Art Center located at 117 W. Liberty Street.

Guided by professional artists/instructors, participants will create artwork for the Global Art Project representing their vision for peace. A variety of media and repurposed materials will be used to create artwork which will be displayed at the Ann Arbor Whole Foods Markets’ Art That Is Local Gallery, and will then be part of the Global Art Project.

The Global Art Project organizes an international art exchange by matching participants—group-to-group and individual-to-individual. The exchange occurs April 23-30 resulting in thousands of people sending messages of Peace around the world at one time. The art is sent as a gift of global friendship and exhibited in the receiving community. More information about the Global Art Project is available at www.global-art.org.
