"Peace Box", Mixed Media, created for the 2004 Global Art Project exchange by Jan Slack of Dahlonega, Georgia, USA

The Global Art Project creates Peace through Art by:

• Fulfilling the need for new approaches to global stability by connecting people around the world who choose to create and share a vision of global unity.
• Creating a living network of cooperation that can help to make the vision of Peace and Global Community a reality.
• Focusing on the value of the arts as a pathway to understand the world as it is and to imagine how it might be.
• Connecting people of diverse cultural backgrounds, providing exposure to new ideas and a feeling of connection to the whole.
• Healing feelings of separation while helping to show that the world can be safe for diversity.
• Exemplifying in concrete form that people can be different and unique yet act together as integral members of one living organism-Earth.
