Discovery Zone 11:00 AM

What does peace look like to you? Show us, with your artwork. Colors of Peace is a global art initiative giving kids a chance to share their hopes and dreams for a more peaceful and positive world. Young artists create artwork that joins a collection of over 120,000 works from kids in over 125 countries. It also celebrates the United Nations International Day of Peace.

Colors of Peace is inspired by the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run, a global torch relay run begun as a way to include all peace lovers in bringing about a more inspired and hopeful world. Every two years, teams of runners pass through over 100 countries carrying a torch and sharing the message that we are more alike than different as members of one human family. We can work together to bring about a more harmonious world. Each person can do something to make the world a better place for each other for generations to come.
