The theme of the Global Art Project is for many countries and cultures to share their vision of peace and goodwill with the world.  This is a bi-annual event.  This is our second time involved with this very special event.  If you would like to know about the event you can go to:  http://www.globalartproject.org

The Mentors came up with our project concept, and many members participated in it’s creation.  The title of our masterpiece is “It takes all the pieces for peace”.  Our project was concieved with the idea of using recycled materials as much as possible.  We were able to recycle tissue paper rolls, newspaper, paper bags and magazines. 

We just found out that we will be switching art pieces with a school in Germany!  We are very excited to see what they will be sending.  For 3 weeks in April, starting the 1st, our own project will be on display at the Wolfeboro Public Library, in the Young Adult section.  We will have our partner school’s project in May.  An update will be posted here, as soon as we have the project.

An Overview of how ChipIn Works:

ChipIn is a Web-based service that simplifies the process of collecting money from groups of people. It makes the process quick, easy, and secure. It provides organizers with numerous ways to get the word out about their ChipIn event.

The most important part of ChipIn is getting the word out to prospective contributors. With the ChipIn widget, is incredibly easy to promote on the social networking sites you already use.

The ChipIn widget is a Flash application that shows the details of your ChipIn, such as your monetary goal, how much money has been raised, and when your ChipIn ends. You can even embed the ChipIn widget on popular services like MySpace, Typepad, Blogger, and Netvibes, or on any other Web page where you can paste a few lines of HTML code.

Not only can you ChipIn, you can help promote by adding the Widget to your own site.
