TYLER — Art of Peace Festival – Tyler kicked off Saturday and runs through September 23 at a variety of venues. Now in its second year, the festival has expanded from 2011′s one-day event. Organizers call it a week of promoting peace through creative and community enriched activities. The local event is in celebration of the International Day of Peace, established by the United Nations in 1981.
“The expectation is to see Tyler citizens getting involved in the activities, which include art, films, storytelling, a Peace Meal, live music, prayer and worship,” according to Festival organizers. The Literacy Council of Tyler is the 2012 peace concert beneficiary. You can go to http://www.tylerpeace.com or http://www.facebook.com/artofpeacetyler for more information.
