HISTORY
Peace Postcards was founded by Allan Weiss in December, 2008. Allan’s interest in art, and (particularly in art by untrained hands), along with the philosophical guidance of his parents inspired him to start Peace Postcards. At a young age, Allan’s parents taught him that each of us has an obligation to help heal the world.To date Peace Postcards has received more than 10,000 Peace Postcards from the United States and from 17 other nations. Peace Postcards have been shown in exhibits at: Honkawa Elementary School Museum, Hiroshima Peace Park, Japan and at many locations in Louisville, Kentucky including The Muhammad Ali Center, Pyro Gallery, University of Louisville’s Ekstrom Library, Louisville International Airport’s Pegasus Gallery and, Thomas Jefferson Unitarian Church.
HOW IT WORKS
The program is simple, direct, and we hope aids each of us to see our own vision of peace. The only parameter for the artwork on a peace postcard is one’s imagination. Use the back of the card as a canvass to draw, paint, sketch, make a collage, write or do whatever you want on the postcard to show your vision of peace and what peace means to you. Mail or email the card to us and we will display it in the Postcard Gallery. Some of the cards will be shown in exhibitions of Peace Postcards.Anyone interested can participate.
