As Memorial Day approaches, we think about ways we can work together toward a peaceful world. Often that means starting in our own communities. Artbeat kicks off an Art for Peace fundraiser this Thursday with free family fun and a way to support local programs that work for peace.

Third Thursday: May 17th 6:00 – 8:00 PM
Bring the family! Join us for a cookie reception and free crafts: tissue paper flowers and Peace bottle cap magnets. Free.

 ”They have the will. They have the creativity. But they lack the means. We give them the means.” ~ Lenny Zakim

Support the Lenny Zakim Fund when you shop at Artbeat on Thursday, May 17th. Founded in 1995 by Boston’s late civil rights leader, the Lenny Zakim fund believes that positive social change can be created by small, effective, grassroots organizations. LZF provides funding to 58 local programs that are improving literacy, alleviating poverty and ending youth violence.

Artbeat will donate a percentage of your purchases to the Lenny Zakim Fund to help further their work. It’s a great opportunity to stock up on birthday gifts while contributing to peace efforts.
