Participate in CITYarts Pieces for Peace Workshops
As part of our Young Minds Build Bridges program, the CITYarts Pieces for Peace project asks youth from around the world to create art based on their vision of peace. Over 12,000 pieces have been collected. They can be viewed in our Online Exhibition, and more are on their way.
Join the Movement
Individual
When you participate as an individual, you can create your Pieces for Peace on your schedule and anywhere. We advise you to download our Pieces for Peace template to learn our guidelines before starting.
Classroom or Group
Teachers, students, youth group leaders and more can organize a group workshop for youth in their own community with the help of our Pieces for Peace Packet.
1. Download your materials
Start by downloading our Pieces for Peace template or packet. Read through the guidelines and instructions before you begin.
2. Prepare your work station
You should prepare all the materials you will need before you start. Do you want to paint your Pieces for Peace, draw it, or both? You can use collage, markers, colored pencils, etc. Some participants also like to pre-sketch out their idea before working on the template.
3. Create your Pieces for Peace
Now it's time to put your idea down on our template! Remember, stay within the square because this is where we crop the image! All works must be 6 in x 6 in (15.24 cm x 15.24 cm).
4. Submit
Originals: Please send us your original works. Include the following information on the back of each piece: name of student, age, name of school and country.
