Imagine Peace Paint-In
IMAGINE PEACE PAINT-IN, sounds really good!
Right now, there are many people who are trying to do something with IMAGINE PEACE - make their own posters, own buttons, and pass it around in their own schools, etc. I think it will be very good to see Denver doing it in style - An event in the Park!
...Please write to us and tell us how it went with photos and stories and we will publish them on the IMAGINE PEACE website.
lots of love and good luck!

Imagine.....
Hundreds of people gathered in Civic Center Park to paint, to celebrate art, to hear music, and to support peace.
Imagine....
Artists...professionals, amateurs, adults, children, students and the biggest names in the Denver art scene.... all together for one day to paint in the park.
Imagine....
Bands and DJs supplying a musical backdrop featuring songs by John Lennon, the Beatles and songs about peace.
Imagine...
Peace organizations operating on local, national and international levels... groups targeting domestic violence, gang violence, and international war... all represented in one place, educating and accepting donations.
Imagine...
A day of art, music and inspiration that you'll never forget... free to all, on John Lennon's birthday.
Calling All Artists You need to be here! Civic Center Park is a beautiful setting - over a city block of landscaped park connecting the Denver Art Museum and the State Capitol! The music of John Lennon and the Beatles will be your muse, and you can paint anything you want! Bring samples of your work to show if you'd like. Just bring your own materials, easel, etc and come pick your spot! You may arrive and leave any time you want! Servers will come around to provide artists with free drinks and snacks. We're looking for professionals and amateurs, art students and art superstars! Want to Paint, but not an Artist? Come on Down! We will provide areas for free lessons and demos, and there will be art materials available at the Paint-In! You can leave with a souvenir of the Paint-In that YOU created! A Note to the Teachers: Bring your classes! Participation is free! Come any time, pick a spot and stay as long as you want! Bring your materials, your students... and show them how art can change the world!

Contribute!
Anyone can contribute to the Paint-In! Even if you can't make it to the park, you can make a small donation that will mean SO MUCH! We are giving 100% of our proceeds to PEACE groups - including the Campaign for the Dept of Peace, and the Student Peace Alliance! We offered to give 50% of the profits to Yoko's "Imagine Peace.com" project, and she graciously said that she would rather see us keep the money in our local community and put it towards peace groups here. So, the money we raise will stay in Colordo and work toward increasing peace awareness here. We also need money to pay for things like park rental, tents, staff, etc! We're working with volunteers and getting as much donated as we can, so that more money can go DIRECTLY to Peace - the way John would have wanted it!
Visit www.paint-in.org to make a contribution of $5, $10, $20 or more! Even $5 helps a lot!
GALLERIES can also contribute at the $200 Gallery Sponsor Level and be linked to our Home Page!
PATRONS and CORPORATIONS may also sponsor at special Giving Levels! Visit www.paint-in.org to see how!
