Peace on Earth—Peace by Piece
Posted by jessica

Peace Dove.jpgWe’re confident in assuming that peace is always on your holiday wish list. This year you can participate in an interactive seasonal installation and promote global harmony with Whimzey, a Florida gallery that features decorative pieces.

Send them your peace-inspired flags (directions are here) and they’ll display every entry from around the world—and send all the proceeds to charity. (Peace on Earth—Peace by Piece runs Dec. 17- Jan. 1.)

Here’s how the “Whimzey Twins” describe the event on their website:
“From 1992-1999 we created interactive displays during the holidays with different themes and always with all the proceeds going to charity. We are so inspired by a trip to Myanmar, where no freedom of expression is allowed to exist, we are ready to take on an artistic holiday display called 'Peace on Earth, Peace by Piece'...in which we will cover our house/studio/lawn with the handmade peace flags we receive from folks around the world.”

The deadline for submissions is Dec. 15. Click here for more information.
