Art Africa, July 2013:
The Peace Project & TheWhole9.com announce the world’s largest collaborative art project with this year’s theme of Peace, Love & Understanding.

Proceeds from the art contest will fund this initiative as well One Wednesdays, a Peace Project program that provides meals and other services to Culver City’s homeless.
