Exhibit: the colors of peace - president Carter’s vision through the art of children at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum
On October 1, Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum opened art exhibit bringing together 270+ artworks created by children from around the world. The exhibition is a celebration of the work of International Paint Pals and its peace-driven mission. Founded in 1995 as part of the Carter Center’s Atlanta Project, International Paint Pals started as a community arts initiative. Since then, the organization has grown to work with over 200,000 children in more than 125 countries. Combining a simple pledge “for the rest of my life, I promise to do everything I can to bring peace into our world” and the creativity of children of all ages is a grassroots realization of one of former President Jimmy Carter’s initiatives. This exhibition is also a call to action for visitors to be inspired by the artworks and to create their own.

Along one wall are photographs, on the opposite wall there is a collection of interviews that the artist took in 2016-2022 from representatives of the Old Believers of various “accords”: from priests to laity, descendants of the Old Believers. They allow you to immerse yourself in the historical, social and territorial context in which the followers of this religious movement live.
