The collaborative exhibit titled "Epidemic Peace Imagery: An Expanding Exhibition of Peace Works by Writers & Visual Artists" features hundreds of artworks, each representing a moment of peace, some combined with poetry or other text.
The concept of the exhibit was developed by Madison visual artist Russell Gardner, peace activist Claire Box and poet Robin Chapman in 2003. The purpose is to spread peace images to counter the ubiquitous images of war and violence, and inspire people to envision a way to a peaceful world.
"We hope that peace imagery spreads over people and replaces "the good war image" that now dominates our foreign policy," said Russell Gardner.
The project has grown from 43 entries four years ago to nearly 600 to date. The exhibit has been displayed simultaneously in venues from California to Wisconsin. Contributing artists are from 56 Wisconsin communities, 30 states and 24 countries. Gardner invites local artists to share their vision of peace with a poem, other words, visual art or a combination.
