This event has ended.
On the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on New York City and Washington DC, Tria Gallery presents Cities of Peace: Transforming Anguish Into Beauty. Cities of Peace is a series of monumental gold-illuminated paintings that honor the people, history and cultures of world cities that have experienced major conflict and trauma. The paintings emphasize understanding as a prerequisite to peace and celebrate the best of the human spirit, transforming anguish into beauty. They include New York, Beijing, Baghdad, Kabul, Hiroshima, Jerusalem, Sarajevo, Monrovia, and Lhasa. The majority of these paintings will be on display at Tria, with the others available for viewing by appointment. Smaller illuminated works inspired by Cities of Peace will also be on display.
