Celebrating Unity
A joyful reveal of the newly restored Mosaic to mark the commencement of bringing the next Peace Altar to realization
Join us in celebration of the deep friendship between Ben Shahn and George Nakashima — two artists driven by a shared vision for a better world — and help us bring the next Peace Altar to life.
You’ll hear firsthand accounts from scholars and craftspeople on their experiences with Ben and George, who became fast friends by sharing their opinions on the decadent egotism of modern art and architecture.
Together, we will take the first steps toward planting a new living symbol of Peace. We hope that you’ll join us.
