Arts To Peace

Arts To Peace --- Official Website Coming 2010!
Please email angel@artstopeace.com

My name is Angel Hess. I am an artist starting a new, ambitious multi-media art and photography project. It will be called "Arts to Peace." I would like you to be a part of it! I am looking for people, small families, and large families. I am also interested in hearing from single people who live alone or those whose only family is a pet, or several pets. I love animals. :-) The themes for this project are based around the concepts of family life, peace, hospitality, and, naturally, art.

I will be traveling around from place to place, spreading a peaceful word, staying for at least 24 hours in as many homes as possible for me, while doing portraits of people, their home, and their families in their home. I will be capturing candid moments of the household and writing about the experiences along with recording audio and video during the time I have with each host family. I hope to do this throughout the U.S., then expand my travels beyond.

This project will let me and my hosts explore the different meanings of friendship, family, life and peace at its essence. This will be creating connections with different kinds of people in very unique ways for me. I hope you will consider being a part of my exciting project! I am giving everyone the option to submit a true, inspirational or funny story to be included in a book. I will give each host family digital copies of the pictures that I take and the book itself. You will also receive a signed photo print of one of the pictures I take at your home.
