Children of Jerusalem, a collection of paintings created by Palestinian and Israeli children, will remain on display at ImaginOn until July 15, 2008.
The 61 original works were produced over a 3 year art program for reconciliation initiated by the Institute for the Study of Religions and Communities in Israel, and it was brought to Charlotte through the joint efforts of several interfaith organizations.
Don’t miss this moving exhibition, a tribute to the potential of art as a bridge between people. In addition to the exhibition, the Charlotte Coalition for Social Justice is offering opportunities for facilitated group dialogues.
If you have a group interested in this program, contact CCSJ at 704-334-0053.
