Sept 16, 2016

The Peace Wall in Little Five Points will celebrate its 20 years with music, art and the creation of a huge sand mandala Sunday.

The celebration is free and open to the public. The activities will begin at 3 p.m.

The Peace Wall is still at on Euclid Ave. next to Arden's Garden. The celebration will feature photos and video of the many people who painted the tiles 20 years ago. According to Partnerships for Peace, about 2,000 people came together to paint their vision of peace and created the World Wall for Peace in Little Five Points. The project took more than a year to complete and cost $20,000. For more information about the wall and Partnership for Peace, which organizes many ongoing activities including gardening and art programs, to promote peace, go to partnershipsinpeace.org
