Kent State University's Downtown Art Gallery and Wick Poetry Center, in collaboration with Soldier's Heart, the veterans' support organization based in Albany, New York, will exhibit Speak Peace: American Voices Respond to Vietnamese Children's Paintings.
The Vietnamese Children's Art Exhibit, in partnership with Viet Nam's War Remnants Museum will debut in the United States at Kent State University's Downtown Gallery Sept. 1 through 25.
A free and open-to-the-public reception will take place Sept. 16 from 5 to 8 p.m.
Speak Peace will pair Vietnamese children's paintings of peace and war with poetry collected by the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam written by American children, veterans, and poets in response to those images. Roughly one third of the poems included in the exhibit are from Northeast Ohio, including works from students or teachers from Kent, Ravenna, Akron, and Cleveland.
The exhibit will then be featured at the 2010 International Peace and War Summit at Case Western Reserve University in October, then travel nationally.
The Downtown Gallery, at 141 E. Main Street in downtown Kent, is open Wednesday through Friday from noon to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
