This year Arts @ Large summer camp is centered around the theme of Bridge Builders. Using our Cornerstone of Peacemaking, participants will explore how a variety of art forms can serve as a bridge between conflict and resolution. The Arts @ Large Peacemaking Cornerstone provides an opportunity to encourage self-respect, respect of differences, and social responsibility, while also providing skills and processes that help peacefully manage conflicts. Peacemaking in art encourages the active and open expression of ideas, as well as creating innovative solutions to social challenges.
