The Peace Angels Project was established on November 8th 1992 as a California non profit 501c3 corporation by the internationally acclaimed artist, Lin Evola, MFA and Life Member of the National Arts Club.
As a charitable education and art foundation, the Peace Angels Project uses art as a tool for peace, working with schools and organizations at both a local and global level. The project promotes world peace through the partnership of art, media, economic and cultural development.
Streets Without Guns project is a strategic goal of the Peace Angels Project. By proactively working with community residents, we assist them in creating neighborhoods and communities where children are free to play. This includes teaching children a paradigm of accountability and responsibility through mutual conflict resolution. The program delivers inspiration through Art and Leadership.
The Peace Angels Project has evolved since Mrs. Lin Evola-Smidt's original vision as one artist; to now include the collaborative vision and contribution of many artists, individuals and companies committed to making a positive difference in the lives of children throughout the world.
The original Symbol and works of melting ordinary weapons into works of art dates back many centuries and is known biblically as turning "swords into ploughshares."
In 479 BC, the Greeks commemorated the final retreat of the Persians at Plataea by collecting the discarded weapons from the battlefields, melting them down and creating the "Snake Monument", erected at the Apollon Temple in Delphi. Centuries later, in 326 AD, it was moved to the Hippodrome in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) by Emperor Constantine the Great.
Nearly 2,500 years have passed and very little remains of either Delphi or the Hippodrome, but this monument to peace still stands, testament to an ageless yearning for peace in us all.
Now, in the 21st century AD, that same enduring legacy lives on...in the "Peace Angels Project"
Contact us today for curriculum information for your school (K-12) in bringing the Peace Angels Project into a special and inspiring classroom project. Curriculums range from elementary to comprehensive art projects and from a few hours over several weeks to wide participation over a semester as well as conflict resolution programs, from peace angels to community mediators.

Mind-spelunker Nathan Cartwright came from deceivingly humble beginnings... was spawned from the suburban blight of the Midwest... sunk into the despair of pre-apocalyptic depression... won many battles against both demons and angels... slipped into hallucinatory comas with local bohemians... and soon found himself the queen bee of an ant army.
Founder of THE HIVE GALLERY and co-founder of Hangar 1018, Nathan works his way to mental freedom in the inner depths of The Hive. The artworks of Shaman Cartwright are dimensional, chaotic, yet structured mental landscapes. The viewer experiences rituals of visual exploration, incorporation psychospasmically induced images, archetypal intruders, windows to inner worlds, and doorways through synaptical transformations. Most of Nathan's mixed-media works are mechanical, sculptural, and totally mental!m, elementum eu, rhoncus sed, gravida sit amet, nulla. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer
