Arts to End Violence: A Discussion and Interactive Art Session

Using art as a tool to raise awareness, Trinity Church Wall Street and the Crown Heights Community Mediation Center are hosting “Arts to End Violence” on Wednesday, June 1st at St. Paul’s Chapel. Leading a discussion on gun violence prevention will be David Gaskin, Program Manager at Save Our Streets Crown Heights at the Center for Court Intervention in Brooklyn. Bethany Hallbreich, founder of Paint the World and a TED Resident, will lead attendees in an interactive art session that will use making group art as a way to process the gun violence discussion.  Reception to follow.

Replicas of the 2016 “Arts to End Violence Festival” winners will be on display. Earlier in May, youth ages 7 to 24 were invited to participate in art therapy workshops and submit artwork for a contest. The winning pieces will be displayed at the mediation center and other areas of Brooklyn.

St. Paul’s is part of the parish of Trinity Church Wall Street, a vibrant and welcoming Episcopal parish community in Lower Manhattan for more than 300 years, carrying out a wide-ranging ministry of service to others. Other recent installations under Trinity’s art-as-advocacy ministry include The Bridge, an East-West travelling art exhibition organized and curated by CARAVAN, an interreligious and intercultural peacebuilding NGO; Another Day Lost, by Issam Kourbaj, an installation in Trinity’s churchyard and nearby Parish Center evoking the plight of Syrian refugees; Blood Mirror, a sculpture and video installation inside Trinity Church by Jordan Eagles protesting the FDA ban on blood donations from non-celibate gay men;  and the photography exhibit Episcopal Relief & Development: Seventy-Five Years of Healing at St. Paul’s Chapel.
