Each Sunday morning in July, artists of all ages are invited to converge on Times Square to draw and visualize peace together, These free drawing sessions will be complemented by musical performances from Nicholas Ryan Gant, Niama Safia Sandy, and Oludaré Bernard.
Building on Moon Folk: Passages Toward Greater Understanding, a collaborative mural created by renowned artist Tomashi Jackson and NYC youth aged 4-12, Peacetime invites participants to reflect on the artworks created for Moon Folk and expand on their themes through Jackson’s “talkdraw” format: simultaneous free-drawing and conversation promoting deep listening, mindfulness and creative connection.
This series is co-presented by Children’s Museum of the Arts and Times Square Arts as a part of #TSQLIVE summer programming by Times Square Alliance.
Programs at Children's Museum of the Arts are supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
