YMCA Artreach participants facilitated by Suzanne Gray
Youngstown (Victory Estates and Brier Hill neighborhoods), Ohio, USA

“YMCA ARTreach kids in Youngstown traced their hands, cut out, put messages of friendship, love, unity, etc. on them. ‘Peace Tree’ hung at the YMCA for a few days before being packed and sent to their exchange partner, Hekab Be Biblioteca in Akumal, Mexico. Hekab Be Biblioteca is a non-profit, grass roots community center and library.” Suzanne Gray

Suzanne Gray, who facilitated the creation of the artwork, has been a Regional Coordinator for the Global Art Project for Peace since 2008.
