Albion High School Students created the above "World Peace Banners" for the World Peace Art Initiative and the Starr Earthwork 2002
Background:
In October 2000 representatives from Australia/Tasmania, China, Norway, Italy
and the U.S. met at Starr Commonwealth, Albion, Michigan to develop long
range plans to create large scale earthworks where schools, communities,
states and nations could work harmoniously together for World Peace through
Arts Initiatives. Starr Commonwealth has donated 37 acres for America's 'STARR
EARTHWORK 2002', which will open September 29, 2002-Oct 6,
2002.
We want to invite your school system to participate by having your youth design and create Peace Banners (9' x 9' tyvek) that will be installed within the moon components of the 'STARR EARTHWORK 2002' on September 29, 2002. This large-scale image made from hundreds of Peace Banners along with mazes, crop plantings, celebrative aerial sculpture, millennium communal campfires, and musical events will be open for the public (see final Week Program) as well as documented aerially (and hopefully by satellite) for further exhibition.
Especially since 9-11 we hope to reflect to the world through the 'STARR EARTHWORK 2002' our nation and world's mission for peace. We expect participation to be very high and state and national media coverage should be immense.
