Visions of Peace 
APRIL 24th - JUNE 3rd2010


Visions of Peace, is a multi-media exhibit of student's art created in support of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.  This is the 18th year for this exhibit, which reflects the life's work of Lillian Mellen Genser, a lifelong advocate for peace and social justice, and an inductee into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame. 

Participating artists range in age from pre-schoolers to high school students and will represent more than 20 schools and groups from the metro Detroit area.  The two floors of the Gallery will be filled with their inspiring and thoughtful art.  Some pieces will be individual works and many others will be collaborative works.   

Curated by Tony Perez, the exhibit is sponsored by the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies at WSU, Swords Into Plowshares Peace Center and Gallery and the Buck Dinner. 

Exhibit Runs
April 24 through June 3, 2010.
