Peace Exhibit EPIDEMIC PEACE IMAGERY Gardens Gallery, Madison M-F 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Independent Living Inc.,602 N Segoe Road, 608-274-7900, www.indepenliving.com 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. | ||

The first Winter Soldier took place in 1971, when a group of brave Vietnam Vets came together to give testimony and expose the evils of the war they fought and sacrificed themselves in. Iraq/Afghanistan Veterans are now at a similar turning point of this war. Many veterans have been affected by the criminal nature of the Iraq Occupation and are going to Washington DC to continue in the footsteps of Winter Soldier 1971. Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) will bring together 500 soldiers from around the United States to share their stories and support one another as they speak the truth about war, which, most times, can be a lonesome experience. The hearings can be seen live on the Internet, but also will be publicly screened in Madison and Milwaukee. On Saturday, March 15, Wisconsin Network for Peace and Justice will be joining with Iraq Vets Against the War – Wisconsin to sponsor live video at Madison’s Orpheum theater from 1 to 6 p.m. | ||

A Veterans for Peace project: Sick Of It Day is a day for everybody who is SICK OF THE LIES, SICK OF THE CORRUPTION, SICK OF THE WAR to make their statement in a way it will really count—CALL IN SICK on March 19, the 5th anniversary of the Iraq invasion! In our own Declaration of Independence, it says, “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” Calling in sick on March 19, “Sick Of It Day” is a powerful way for every one of us to withdraw our consent from a government that continues an immoral, illegal and SICK war. Join us! Call in sick! Withdraw your consent! Stop the war! More info: http://www.sickofitday.org:80/ Start: 17:15
