Dear Friends,
As we strive to engage youth around the world
to do good in their community through the arts, we invited a youth

Pieces for Peace project, to visit us in NYC.

If we can do it in Israel, we can do it anywhere.
I truly believe it, and especially now during another stressful
time of painful events in Israel, there is no doubt that
our kids deserve a better future.

The Wall Before
Goal: To unite Jewish & Arab Israel Youth in Jaffa Tel Aviv under their quest for Peace. They together with two artists, one Israeli and one Arab will create a permanent Mosaic Peace Wall which surrounds their neighborhood. This wall will act as a constant reminder that they can work together building a beautiful future.
Global Goal: Under the direction of two artists, one Jewish and one Arab, approximately 20 workshops will take place in Tel Aviv-Yafo. This work will take place at the home base of the after school programs – at the schools, the Arab- Hebrew Theatre of Yafo, the Peres Center for Peace, and other locations.
The main question asked in these workshops will be “What does peace look like to me?” The discussions will lead to the creation of the individual 15.24 cm x 15.24 cm pieces. These pieces will be displayed in several prominent places exhibiting the collaboration in process, through photos, paintings, and video documentation.
