Seattle joins Rome by hosting its first ever Colors of Peace exhibit at Seattle Center during NW Folklife.

Over 1000 works of art from twelve schools and one Boys and Girls Club. Colors of Peace joins Rome in giving youth a chance to say "Peace looks like this to me".

A special thanks to Anna Tran and Anna Buxton for helping the exhibit become a reality.

The Peace Run begins here with a visit to the Sri Chinmoy Peace Blossom site plaque located next to the Space Needle in Seattle Center.

The Peace Run kicks off Colors of Peace with a Peace Walk around Seattle Center.
