Meron Moroz Hey Lars, just wanted to let you know about our upcoming Peace Tiles Workshop. Working with the high school Global Awareness Group, our local Girl Guides Chapter and visiting students from Pearson College we will be creating a mural for World AIDS day.

The settings won't let me attach a link to our FB event page so I'll share the details this way.

It's all over now and the groups that participated are scattered so it would be difficult to make that connection. We are going to put it up at the local coffee shop, changing out the mural that is already there with the new tiles. Not sure what we are doing with it after that. May have some spares, do you want me to send you some?

Oh yeah, we are organising this first friday at the Arcadia Restaurant. We are displaying the Indian tiles for exhibition in the event of making American tiles. Here in Canton OH there are events all over the city, which is a special day of every month. So, people come in massses to enjoy the first friday. Maria, the owner of the Arcadia restaurant is supporting to set up in the front. If possible we may exhibit in Massillon Library, Massilon this week. Send you pics later.

From there, I am heading to NY City on 5th, will make exhibition in the different places there too.

Love both additions! I really want to help connect peer-to-peer, and sustainability could be just the way - what about text book covers, etc that students groups can buy/sell for profits to programs outside U.S. I'd also love to see the art leasing program take off eg why can't starbucks have outstanding kids collage-murals in addition to the great bean-branded ones they have now? i like this direction :)
