"Art is a unifying voice that reminds us of what brings us together. With so much stress, division and depression; we wanted to bring a project to our community that was uplifting, inspiring, and hopefully spread a little joy." 34 local artists have created 45 peace poles and peace sculptures; hosted at 18 local businesses in the First Annual Community of Peace: A Study of what Brings Us Together outdoor exhibit. Organized and launched by The New Paltz Chamber of Commerce, led by Sheila Gilday - Chapter President, and coordinated by Board Member Liz Glover Wilson (Stone Wave Yoga and Sunflower Art Studios, along with project co-chair Marcy Bernstein (ROOST Studios).
