Community footprints banner, April 14, on-going, Skywalk at Harbor City School, 2nd Fl.
Add your footprint and/or a word or phrase which represents the way in which you make small or big steps on the path to peace to a large community banner. Be inspired by messages passed down through the generations, and be entertained by the antics of a band of "peace clowns." Contact: Art of Peace

Community labrynth, April 14, on-going, location TBA.
Find a rock you can easily hold and carry, not too small, not to big. Paint it on your own sometime before the event or bring it on Saturday to paint. Paint a word/s, symbol/s, or image/s that you see as a "stepping stone" to peace. The rocks will be arranged on Saturday to create a labrynth. Contact: Art of Peace.
