The following information has been received from Joanne Tawfilis of the The Art Miles Mural Project.
This is a list of major exhibitions the Art Miles Mural Project has been involved with or organized as an officially recognized project for the UNESCO Decade of the Culture of Peace and Non Violence Among Children of the World. Although we are unable to post all our activities on the UNESCO Peace Public Web Site, I thought it might be good for you all to see just how comprehensive and far-reaching our project has become. All of us, including the many volunteers who work in over 100 countries are truly dedicated to this project that brings people together through art. I am compiling photos of murals (over 900 so far), events, newsclips, and photos that give UNESCO excellent recognition for the Decade project. I hope we can continue to cooperate throughout the Decade. We literally have thousands of incredible photographs and short stories of our interactions with hundreds of thousands of people so far. We have a volume of news articles, TV video's and magazine articles that have covered our project. See the Art Miles Mural Project Website. It is also our desire to continue organizing Mural Marathons as done in Mexico, Austria and Spain. We hope to do them in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt in the coming year, with China following in 2005.
