Imagine all that could be done if the public was aware that they had one day they could go in and help populations in war zones receive aid, clean water, medical assistance, and other supplies without the overwhelming risk of injury. Already thousands are being helped because of the International Day of Peace and Ceasefire, now it’s your turn to help bring awareness to this day and its efforts. Charleston Peace One Day presents an open call to artists for its juried show, What a Day of Peace Means, that will be a part of the Charleston Peace One Day Festival September 19th.
Artists will create works that are inspired by what a day of peace means to them, and those works will be available for sale in the Visual Art Tent at the festival. This year the Charleston Peace One Day Festival will be held at the North Charleston Riverfront Park, with the intention of bringing a festival of peace in the most violent city in South Carolina in order to inspire a culture of peace.
Artists need to fill out the participation form and return it by July 30th. All artwork will need to be turned in by September 10th ready to hang and ready for sale. *note: there is no entry fee and all ages are welcome.
A little about Peace One Day:
In 2001, The United Nations General Assembly resolution (A/Res/55/282) was unanimously adopted by UN member states, formally establishing an annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence on the UN International Day of Peace, fixed in the global calendar on 21 September-Peace Day. Since the day of peace was accepted by the UN, internationally, Peace One Day has been successful in creating peace building education curriculum, soccer tournaments, and establishing peace day celebrations, ceasefires, and other peace-building initiatives all over the world.
A little about Charleston Peace One Day:
Charleston Peace One Day is a non-profit organization working to bring intercultural cooperation and non-violence to South Carolina through educational and community events. South Carolina has been ranked the most violent state in the U.S. for 2007/2008. CP1D is working to decrease violence by implementing the following:
- Develop a culture of peace, intercultural cooperation, and non-violence through education, action, art, and other community building efforts.
- Network all businesses, organizations, and citizens that work toward building a community structure that supports peace, non-violence and intercultural cooperation in the Charleston and surrounding area.
- Create education curriculum as a supplemental tool for educators.
- Raise local and global awareness of the International Day of Peace through a citywide festival that is inclusive of art, music, sport, and education.
