With the support and wisdom of Alderman Lopez and the finances of Chicago DCASE’s YOPA program AAC began a year-long project that addresses how to connect with the “peace inside.”  the project has 3 components:  (1)  8 weeks of art projects with all 8  grades of students leading to a large installation of over 250 metal doves, each decorated by a student of Henderson Elementary in Englewood,

(2)  jobs for local residents cutting and preparing the doves, teaching yoga, and helping with the third component

a mural on the underpass of Damen and 58th designed and painted with and by the students and brilliant Henderson art teacher, Mr. Pulliam.
