"Acts of Peacebuilding" features artwork as a vehicle to build a culture of peace and respect.

"Acts of Peacebuilding" features artwork as a vehicle to build a culture of peace and respect.

“Acts of Peacebuilding,” an exhibit presented by the Cultural Arts Coalition, is open for viewing through Feb. 19 at the Fletcher Library here on ASU’s West campus.

The exhibit features the work of South Mountain High School students, as well as accomplished artists from around the community.  It is displayed on the library’s second and third floors.  Admission is free.

In addition to providing artists an exciting venue to showcase their work, the exhibit casts a bright light on what “peacebuilding” means, syas Judith Butzine, co-founder and co-director of the coalition.  “Peacebuilding is different from peacemaking or peacekeeping,” she says.  “It focuses on creating a long-term culture of peace, rather than solving existing conflicts or preventing old ones from re-occurring.”

For complete details on the nearly month-long exhibit, click here.
