Artists for World Peace, Inc.

The Artists for World Peace Foundation is a nonprofit organization that creates opportunities for artistic expression that fosters world peace and raises funds to benefit humanitarian causes.

After circling the globe for seven years, The International Peace Belt, initial project of Artists for World Peace, has been worn by peace keepers in eighteen countries and on four continents. From Vietnam War veterans in Vietnam to shaman in South Korea and Ecuador to a Flamenco instructor in Spain, hundreds have incorporated The International Peace Belt into their sacred ceremonies and artistic performances, making the belt a living link between all cultures and peoples.
