“COUNTDOWN TO PEACE” Project
Artists Call to Arms PEACE
Inspired by collaborative projects like the Aids Name Quilts and
Sonya Clark’s Beaded Prayers Project, we invite you to help create
the “Countdown to PEACE.” Presented in calendar format, the project
will begin with March 19, 2003 (the day the war in Iraq began) and
will end when the war ends. At this point we are into the fifth year
of the war; the calendar format allows us a way to measure the full
extent of the war and gives us a visual sense of its continuing
scope.
CRITERIA:
Each calendar month will be its own presentation board made up of 4-
inch squares, 7 across and 5-6 rows down. Each entry will represent
one day of this war. We are inviting artists to send us entries that
are no larger than 4-inches square and no deeper than 1 inch.
Limiting size will make display feasible. Work that is included in
this project will become the property of the project. The entries
will be permanently attached to the “calendar” pages for ease of
transporting.
Any media is acceptable. Remember that since only one side of the
work will be seen, 2-D approaches are preferred, however clay or
metal works done in relief (for example) will also be accepted.
We intend for the project to be POSITIVE in nature. We are mainly
interested in your personal VISION OF PEACE. Please do not use
imagery and/or text that is specific to any government officials or
policies. Please keep the focus on PROMOTING PEACE rather than on
decrying war.
Entries that do not meet the criteria in terms of size or content
will be returned to the sender.
WHAT TO DO:
Send your work, along with $10. PER ENTRY; the entry fee is non-
refundable. Make checks payable to “Countdown to Peace.” Mail your
entry and check to:
