Visions of Peace/ Center for Peace and Conflict Studies
Benefit and Fundraiser Art Auction and Show
Please join us in celebrating the legacy of Lillian Genser, the Visions of Peace Children’s Art Show, and the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies
with a silent art auction and concert.

Lillian Genser had been active in both the Center and the Children’s Show. A former director of the Center, Lillian was focused on peace education of children. ‘Children will be the citizens and leaders of tomorrow, and by anointing them with the torch of envisioning the possibility of a peaceful world and a sense of global identity with other children of other nations, we are planting the seeds for cultural transformation’.
The Visions of Peace Children’s Art Show is an annual art exhibition (held at Swords into Plowshares Peace Center and Gallery) that encourages children to speak their minds through art. It allows children to incorporate the UN Convention in the Rights of the Child into the artwork, and teaches the children tolerance and nonviolence, along with self-respect and love of self.
