Peace Jam Mural

On Saturday, January 26, 2013, at the Curb Event Center - Belmont University - Nashville, Tn, I was asked to work with Peace Jam participants to create a mural.

The Peace Jam Mural, pictured, is 12ft by 24ft...all of the images were drawn by Peace Jam participants and given to Andee to include in one composition. Andee designed the mural on the large vinyl tarp.  The design is based on the participants drawings. The participants painted, after a short discussion about contrasting colors, and the mural was completed in about one hour.

Nobel Peace prize winner Shirin Ebadi even signed the mural!

I heard 2 young women in the closing discussion share, "I'm an artist!" Love it!

Stars Nashville will decide where it will be displayed. www.starsnashville.org

A time lapse video of the mural will be posted soon.
