IOC9_14NoltnerHamlineExhibitThe Wesley Center is excited to announce that photographer and storyteller John Noltner’s “A Peace of My Mind” exhibit will be on display in the Anderson Center Forum at Hamline University through Sept. 29. This event is free and open to the public!

A “Meet & Greet with the Artist” will be held on Tues., Sept. 16, 4:15-6pm at the Forum. Artist Noltner will talk about the people he interviewed for the exhibit and provide a tour.

In celebration of the “International Day of Peace,” meet the artist Noltner during a dessert reception in Anderson Center Forum Sun., Sept. 21, at 5pm. At 7pm, Noltner will deliver a special presentation entitled “Peaces of Eight: Uncovering the Treasure of Peace through Stories that Surround Us.”

“What does peace mean to you?” is the central question photographer and storyteller Noltner has been asking people for his social commentary project, “A Peace of My Mind.” The multimedia art project is meant to foster public dialogue about issues related to conflict resolution, civic responsibility, and peace building. With engaging portraits and compelling personal stories, nearly 100 diverse subjects describe what peace means to them, how they work toward it in their lives, and some of the obstacles they encounter along the way.

“A Peace of My Mind” is sponsored by the Wesley Center for Spirituality, Service, and Social Justice at Hamline University.
