The Make Peace symbol created by artist sculptor Paul-Felix Montez in 2012, copyright 2012. This universal symbol which re-invents the peace sign for the 21st century in a proactive lifestyle message, has found it's way all across the globe. Used by street, graffiti artists and a vast array of maker creatives, it now appears on hundreds of walls, murals, posters, and even as hair cuts, cookies, tattoos, and sculptures. It has even spawned a make peace day event each year, the first of which took place in seven cities throughout the United States. The purpose of these annual day events were to promote activism in the creation of make peace parks in Chicago and New Orleans, and ultimately world wide. Since it's first year event, it has expanded into offering teaching lessons in creativity using it's symbol and methods of conflict resolution for schools everywhere. The Make Peace day takes place in March of every year, on the first Saturday after the spring equinox. In March 2015 the Make Peace museum will open in Los Angeles California USA on Wilshire Blvd., on the "miracle mile, museum row of the city. The museum has also proposed the "Peace Walk Way" monument and is now in talks with the city. The Peace Walk Way is the Hollywood walk of fame but for peace makers, bronze plaques with the name, country, and contribution to peace made by each peace maker plus the make peace symbol, would extend one mile long along Wilshire Blvd. from Fairfax ave. to La Brea ave on both sides of the street. When completed it would be the world's largest peace monument.
