The CREATION NATION: Art & Peace Parade 2013
The Barat Foundation is a non-profit arts and education organization dedicated to promoting art in the public sphere through community collaboration. To date, the BF has collaborated with over 50 schools and communities in Newark creating the larger than life parade sculptures known as the "Animodules". This July, Mayor Cory Booker proclaimed them "Newark's Official Peace Ambassadors", as they are born from the imagination and collaboration of Newark's youth. The Animodule program brings inspired artists into schools for up to 16 weeks of workshop time. To make an Animodule with your school or community, send us an email. Support our cause and donate to the parade by following the QR code, or going to indiegogo.com, search word Creation Nation Parade. All donations are tax deductible.
