Apollo Students Attend World Peace Art Exhibit at Kennedy Space Center

Each year the World Peace Art Exhibit visits a site to celebrate world art and hope for world peace.  This year the Kennedy Space Center was chosen in celebration of the completion of the International Space Station.  The Government of Japan and the cities of Nagasaki & Hiroshima invited 100 Apollo students, parents and faculty to attend the World Art Exhibit where the students exchanged art work with the Japanese artists and performed for dignitaries.  Students worked directly with the famous Japanese artists in creating origami, Japanese art, and signature paintings.  According to Dr. Pam O’Kell, “this was one of memorable educational and cultural experiences for students I have encountered. The students will always appreciate the art.”
