All the students interpreted the theme “Light Up the World with Peace”. Twelve of those pieces will be selected to appear in the2013 Global Peace Film Festival calendar.
This is an opportunity to capture on video the excitement of the students at seeing their work on display, and some of the images that were inspired by the idea of peace.
The works are on display throughout the week during regular business hours.
