Exhibit: The Colors of Peace - President Carter’s Vision through the Art of Children
Exhibit October 1, 2022-May 31, 2023Ongoing: October 1, 2022 - Extended through Memorial Day Weekend
Bringing together 270+ artworks created by children from around the world, the exhibition is a celebration of the work of International Paint Pals and its peace-driven mission. Founded in 1995 as part of the Carter Center’s Atlanta Project, International Paint Pals started as a community arts initiative in south Atlanta. Since then, the organization has grown to work with over 200,000 children in more than 125 countries. Combining a simple pledge – “for the rest of my life, I promise to do everything I can to bring peace into our world” – and the creativity and imagination of children of all ages, the organization and the work it supports is a grassroots realization of one of former President Jimmy Carter’s initiatives, waging peace. This exhibition is also a call to action for visitors to be inspired by the artworks and to create and share their own.

By creating opportunities for unemployed young men, the CCC was an innovation in government and a model for future government programs benefiting families, cities, and rural communities.
