What is chalk4peace?
Chalk4Peace is a creative presentation for young artists of all ages
utilizing the theme of Peace.
CHALK4PEACE has grown through the efforts of hundreds of events
organizers, teachers, parents, community outreach coordinators,
libraries, arts centers and other peace minded individuals and
organizations.
The campaign to make CHALK4PEACE worldwide began on July 16, 2005,
the day after the first CHALK4PEACE event at the Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. Memorial Library in Washington, DC. John Aaron, the Global
Project Founder of CHALK4PEACE and chalk events coordinator, began a
print and email campaign, sending out more than 5,000 personalized
emails and 6,000 full color brochures about CHALK4PEACE for 2005-6.
You may have received one or two along the way...
The global campaign spread coast to coast across the United States,
to Cape Town, South Africa and in places in Europe.
Last year, more than one hundred individually organized sites with
authorized clearances chalked out their messages and visions for a
more peaceful planet.
CHALK4PEACE is not encouraged as an anti-war demonstration; rather,
it is a creative presentation for young artists of all ages
utilizing the theme of Peace.
This year, we expect CHALK4PEACE to grow even larger than last year,
as it is now happening on four continents and most of the sites from
last year have enlisted others to join in and/or create their own
sites.
Mr. Aaron is a long time artist, sculptor, painter, educator and
events coordinator who is internationally recognized for his
contributions to his artforms and for creating the atmosphere
conducive to make CHALK4PEACE a global event.
