They are genuine artists and dedicated searchers of peace. They were supported by a deeply appreciated financial and technical aid from the then New Jersey Summer Arts Institute, and the B'nai Zion Foundation. They are the heart of this study, and forever will have a special place in my heart.

I want to acknowledge two professors whose influence remains with me years beyond their presence in my life, Charles Breslin and E. R. Hagemann. The Graduate School awarded me a 2006 Project Completion Grant, which enabled me to take my exams and write my disseI1ation. Finally, S. Beth Atlee was a formative influence on my selection of a topic.

In this our modern times, many people, although not in every geography, had to live with wars and conflicts. Peace has always been the object of purchase, even if art cannot afford to prevent the war. Violence and war have become commonplace for everyone, especially for children. Exile, immigration, refugee, human trafficking issues, which have become a problem of the world as a result of war and violence, await solutions. Institutions, states and global organisations are trying to take big economic and social measures towards these problems; however the unresolved problems of the endless wars, the issues of war continue to be the main item of the agenda. For instance, the arts of Otto Dix, Kathe Kollwitz or our current days artists Tammam Azzam and Banksy. This study emphasises the belief that the art has a unifying, healing power, and therefore Art for Peace will continue to be made. Keywords: Contemporary art, peace, war, art.

The International Year for a Culture of Peace as a catalyst As we move into the International Year for a Culture of Peace, UNESCO can be justifiably proud of having provided the international community with a concept which is no less than a vision of the world and a social project. These were the terms used by former Director-General Federico Mayor to describe this groundbreaking initiative. In Canada, the Canadian Commission for UNESCO works from the premise that many of the actions undertaken by UNESCO since its creation have advanced the implementation of these principles without anyone actually stopping to think that this was what was being done. The CCU as facilitator Agents of change in Canadian civil society are well organized and varied. For reasons of efficiency they tend to target their actions too specifically, often losing sight of the overall view and movement. The Canadian Commission for UNESCO, by facilitating meetings focusing on the concept of the culture of peace, permits each individual to rediscover a meaning, motivation and sense of belonging in his or her contacts with others. The CCU as developer Agents of change concerned with accomplishing their work often do not take the time to describe it, share their experience and create sustainable links. By producing a variety of lists of partners to accompany the Canadian National Commission's Discussion Kit (http://www.unesco.ca/english/peacekit.htm), the Commission proposes a sharing of experiences and visibility for those who contribute to a culture of peace. This is due acknowledgement of the work accomplished, and will hopefully serve as encouragement to do more. The Commission hopes that its meetings will lead to more collaborations, based on lessons learned and new paths identified. We do this because we believe, that as important as formal education is in promoting a culture of peace, the non-formal sector touches more people. The CCU's partners We have tended to specialize and limit ourselves and limit ourselves to specific goals. The concept of a culture of peace invites us to open up to other approaches and other ways of seeing and thinking. It also invites us to work together toward a common goal. We would like to open the idea of the "culture of peace" to all who work with these principles, and feel inspired by the concept of the Culture of Peace.

Andreu Ginestet is an artist. He works for peace since 1978, intuitively averting and preventing violence. Peacework often is the result of the opposition of single actors in society to the ongoing context of brutality. Artists very often pioneer peace movements in society. As pointed out by Asli Telli, non-violence is one of the main ingredients of the arts and its ability to transform society. Arts contribute to the change of narrative “imagining, transforming, changing”. Thus the arts help wording alternatives that can be used beyond silent diplomacy within the context of politics in the sense of a draft for a political change. While as pointed out by Burcu Eke-Schneider, the art scene in Wuppertal inspires peace development in the regional and the international spheres of education, science, politics and diplomacy.
