Doves 4 Peace have landed at Olson Middle School in Minneapolis! The school’s art teacher hung them in the school’s art display cases with two Black History Month projects featuring art inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat and Kimmy Cantrell.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to fold origami doves for our Doves 4 Peace project!

We’ll be stringing the colorful doves this week, and then delivering them to Minneapolis schools where they will be hung in classrooms.

Today was a good reminder that in times like these, we need to gather together to actively create the peace we want for the future. 🕊️ ✌🏼 ☮️
