Expressions of Peace: Envisioning a Just Community

Call for Submissions to a Juried Exhibit by Young Adult Friends*

How is Spirit moving in your life to create social justice and peace in yourself and the world? What does or would that movement look like if you were to express it in a two-dimensional artistic interpretation? How might your works of art speak to others about your emerging vision and actions towards creating a more just and peaceful world?

If these questions speak to you, we invite you to consider submitting photos of work you have created or will create in response to these queries for a juried exhibit by Young Adult Friends to be on display at Pendle Hill beginning next April.

• * You are a visually creative Friend or active participant in a Quaker school, college, or organization;
• You are about 17-35 years old; and
• You have created or will create up to three pieces on the theme of Expressions of Peace: Envisioning a Just Community that are within the dimensions of 36”x36”x 2” and can be wired for hanging on the wall.
