Join Us for our September 2025 Peace Show! 

Please take a moment to read the PCP Vision Statement below before submission:

PCP Vision Statement

The Project Create Peace Art Show is more than an exhibition—it is an effort to spark collective awakening as a call to action and a celebration of our potential to co-create a world that values unity, courage, and respect for all life. Our mission is to create a cultural movement led by the artists of the world that re-imagines our future together as one filled with peace, abundance, and good health, the hallmarks of a truly thriving global society.   

 

At the heart of this vision lies a new symbol for peace: a universal language that transcends borders, ideologies, and cultures. This symbol—grounded in the physical world, animated by the fountain of life, and crowned by the lotus of enlightenment—invites us to think beyond what we have known and to embrace a future where peace is not merely an ideal but a living, evolving reality.

 

Through art, we shift the narrative from chaos to creation, from fear to empowerment. Each piece in this show represents the belief in the power of intention and the knowing that we are already on our most peaceful path forward. By aligning with the symbol’s energy, artists and viewers alike become co-creators of a new global reality, raising the vibrational alignment of our planet toward collaboration, connectivity, and reverence for all beings.

 

This show is an invitation to pause, to create, and to connect—not just with ourselves but with each other. It is a reminder that peace is not something we find; it is something we build—together.

 

Join us as we harness the transformative power of art to inspire, heal, and unite.  United, we create a future where peace is not just a possibility but a practice.
