About the Mural Photo Gallery
In an effort to showcase the incredible Kindness Murals created and to further connect children throughout the world, we have posted a picture of each completed mural along with the descriptions of these murals if they were provided. We have also noted the artists responsible by name of school, group, family, or organization, the school year they were completed, and where they are in the world. This blog format invites all of our participants worldwide and visitors to our blog to see children's visions of kindness and to comment on specific murals if they choose. We hope this format will further the goal of creating global harmony through art and allow us all to envision a kind, peaceful world.
A special thank you to all of our participants. Your work and visions of kindness are a true inspiration!

Students were so excited when they got to add the vibrant colors you see! Finally, students had a a chance to finish the sentence “Kindness is…”
