Promotional graphic for the Department of Arts Peace Project 2026-2027. The design features a dark blue background with large white text reading “DEPARTMENT OF ARTS PEACE PROJECT” and “2026-2027.” On the right side, a large stylized dove is illustrated in shades of green, teal, blue, and peach, decorated with floral and leafy patterns. A white border frames the graphic. Along the bottom are three logos: the Buffalo Public Schools logo, the Department of Arts logo, and the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library logo. The overall design uses bright, calming colors and emphasizes themes of peace, creativity, and community partnership.

What is The Peace Project?

During this time of year, it is important to be mindful of those that are less fortunate, those who are suffering, and those who may not feel loved or cared for. We remind ourselves that it is important to always be kind, tolerant, compassionate and open to love and happiness in all its wonderful forms.

Through the arts, we ask students to express what this means to them, focusing on the ideas of peace, joy and love. The Peace Project is a platform that offers creative voice to students so that they may acknowledge and celebrate the good in the world.   

This is a public and free event. We welcome all.
