peace + creativity serving the community
On June 18, 2022 we had our annual Peace of Art DC Festival where DC residents showcased their art and families had lots of fun!
Peace of Art DC is not just a festival, it’s an artistic leadership program which is offered to middle and high school students that live in neighborhoods that are traumatized by gun violence in Washington, DC. We offer leadership skills (restorative justice techniques, conflict resolution skills, and ways to make wise friendship choices) and life skills (financial literacy, post-secondary education planning, and entrepreneurship training).
Peace of Art DC is a safe place for our city’s youth where they can avoid gun violence and learn how to help others do the same. We also provide tutors and mentors for each student so that they excel academically as well as socially, and artistically. While in our program, students earn a stipend and get the opportunity to showcase their visual and performing art on a global platform, thanks to our celebrity and industry expert partners.
