The Peace Flag Project

The Red Mill Museum Village and the Hunterdon Art Museum invite community members to participate in the Mill to Mill Peace Flag Project, a public art display of handmade peace flags that will represent a shared expression of hope, unity and goodwill. The exhibition is celebrates crafts and community for the nation's 250th anniversary. Community members are asked to create peace flags that will be displayed together outside the two museums. Inspired by traditional prayer flags, each piece reflects the maker’s personal interpretation of the question:

“What does peace look like to you?”

Through symbols, colors, words, images or textures, every flag becomes a message of peace carried outward into the world.
