About

Art is a powerful vehicle for cultivating inquiry, nurturing well-being, and inspiring innovation for positive social impact. At the Center for Peace Through Culture we offer experiential, creative programs designed to promote cultural awareness and develop personal and interpersonal skills—with the mission of advancing an equitable, vibrant, interconnected, and peaceful community.

We believe art belongs equally to all and is a necessary vehicle for healthy civic engagement, rich cultural learning, and individual and collective healing. Art is a bridge to deeper understanding, shared cultural history, and the fostering of thriving, peaceful individuals and communities.
