Hexagon Project 2024 – Resources and Links

The HEXAGON PROJECT 2024 EVITE with Schedule

First Friday, September 6th, 5-9 PM

Saturday, September 21st, 9:30-3 PM

What is Peace and how can we be agents of Peace in our own lives, our families, our communities and in the world? Our annual visual art exhibit asks this question and brings the world to Northeastern Pennsylvania and young artists and communities to the world. 

Hexagonal artworks, metaphors for interdependence, by hundreds of young people and communities, convey the desires of all peoples for Peace.

We are called to carefully observe 40 selected hexagonal artworks juxtaposed with 20 powerful professional designers’ illuminations in our special installation: 20×20 Posters for Peace. In addition, over 1000 hexagons are mounted or projected digitally within the gallery, with opportunities for attendees to make hexagons. All events are free and open to the public.

Traveling Exhibition

The full exhibition comes down at the end of September and the posters and Hexagons for Peace exhibition will travel to Marywood University in October, 2024

“As a platform for interaction with society at large, posters bring forth the dedication of the designer and the social responsibility that has come to be placed on their shoulders – as communicators of the voice of dissent and social change; the 20×20 Posters for Peace Exhibition brings forth a golden opportunity to create fresh new perspectives on how the realm of visual arts and graphic design can approach the age-old instinct and demand for peace.”
