THE PEACE DOVE PROJECT

     

“Art is the triumph over chaos.” – John Cheever 

Art has the power to transform minds and change society. It is about more than the creation of beautiful images; art is a part of our social, emotional, and spiritual development. The arts allow everyone, no matter how disadvantaged, a comforting and liberating space in which to navigate the challenges they face. It has been widely proven that art can play a profound role in helping people cope with crisis, and achieve mental and emotional stability.   

Art can easily be seen as a frivolous luxury, but for our participants, it proves to be an essential tool for healing, growth, and provides a way to articulate personal needs that would otherwise go unheard and unseen.


Prints are still available for $35 + tax and shipping.  Please contact the J.E. Smith Gallery at 812-455-8982 or by email at j.smith@jesmithgallery.com.  All proceeds are split between the artist and toward the "Our Eyes" project itself.

Look for upcoming "Our Eyes" exhibits throughout the Midwest.  The J.E. Smith Gallery staff is currently collaborating with homeless organizations in St. Louis, MO, Indianapolis, IN, Louisville, KY, Nashville, TN and Chicago, IL to work with local homeless men, women and children in those areas.
