The objective of this online exhibit of "A Peace Of..." is to:

To showcase visual artistic representations of the effect/affect of peace on each of us individually, on our communities, and on the global level. Because this show will explore peace, it may also be looking at why there is a need for peace - how war and violence affect us all as human beings, how our community is then constantly addressing recovery & healing. Are we served well by art in being this versed in grief and healing? Would we lose the need for art if there were peace? And what might it mean for all of us if we instead lived in a non-violent world, how much more productive, artistic, developed would we be as a species?

Some types of work themes could include:

* What does peace look like?
* What does peace mean to you personally and in your community?
* How do you question the meaning of peace?
* How do you explore peace via artwork?
* Works inspired by peace demonstrations.
* How we connect and disconnect with peace and violence, healing and grieving?
* Inspirations to continue manifesting peaceful lives even in the face of war.
* Raising awareness about politics, elections, ourselves as “The People”
* Art as Peacemaker, teacher, voice of the oppressed




Arts from any discipline are welcome for consideration: painting, photography, tiles, fabric arts, illustration, sculpture, collage, digital works, ATCs and more. I'm even glad to consider poetry or bits of writing if incorporated into some kind of design or visual art that is sent in as a jpg. We'll even consider YouTube type videos that we can code into the blog -- for those of you who might have vid of spoken word or music or short film. So I do mean "any discipline" that can be shown in some way on the blog! Because this is an online exhibit, we will not require the actual physical piece of art, but instead really good digital representation of the piece we can display here on the blog and in promotion pieces for the exhibit.

To submit works for consideration, please do the following:

1) Send email to kara@motherhenna.com -- be *certain* the subject line of your email says "Submission for A Peace Of..." -- otherwise it's liable to get lost in the storm of spam we get here everyday!

3) Please include in the body of your email, links to the images you are submitting for consideration.

4) Be sure you put all that info in the *body* of the email because absolutely no attached docs will be opened!
