This article describes Pinwheels for Peace, an art and literacy project started in 2005 as a way for students to express their feelings about what is going on in the world and in their lives. Art educators, teachers, scout groups, churches, and entire cities quickly embraced the project, which is becoming a meaningful and powerful art advocacy agent. Many schools used the Pinwheels for Peace project as a springboard to a much larger celebration of peace and diversity--and musical performances, dedications, and proclamations made the day unique and special. It is hoped that this project will help students make a public visual statement about their feelings about war, peace, tolerance, cooperation, harmony, and unity.
