Why is The American LOVE Project Important?
WE STARTED BY ASKING OUR 29 PIECES TEAM. We are a dedicated and diverse group helping give voice to the creative human spirit to make genuine, positive social change. Here’s what a few of us said:
“The American Love Project aims to fill the void that many Americans feel. Hopefully, through art and self-expression, we can finally fill that void.”
— MAURICIO NAVARRO
“We are stronger than any uprising.
We are braver than any hate.
We are focused on our
appetite for healing.”
— PETER WOOD
“The purpose of art is profound conversation. Conversation connects us to each other and our humanity. Conversations about beauty and balance, nature and color can bring joy back into our wounded hearts. When it feels like our world is splintering, conversations about love can heal.”
