Our public program is a symbolic activity with ties to peace\, healing\, mindfulness\, making and community collaboration.  Our aim is to create 1000 paper cranes and celebrate our display to mark the UN International Day of Peace on 21 September 2025. \nOne a month\, gallery staff will be on site to teach participants how to fold origami paper cranes. Our workshops will provide all necessary materials. We invite participants to make a number of cranes allowing them to take 1 or 2 home or give as a gift\, also donating 1 or 2 cranes to the gallery display\, and also consider joining the Peace Crane Project. \nThe workshop is a fun and relaxing way to learn a new skill\, meet new people and be part of our collaborative public art project. \n  \nWhy Sunday 21 September 2025?  \nAcross the world\, on Sunday 21 September\, people get together and observe the International Day of Peace. \nStudents may wish to join the  – https://peacecraneproject.org/ \nThe Peace Crane Project invites every student on the planet to fold an origami crane\, write a message of peace on its wings\, then exchange it with another student somewhere in the world.

Classrooms\, teachers\, students\, schools\, community groups\, and individuals are welcome. It’s FREE to participate! \n  \nWhy 1000 paper cranes? \nIn Japan\, the act of folding 1\,000 origami cranes (senbazuru) is a tradition associated with making a wish come true. The crane\, a revered creature in Japanese culture\, is believed to live for a thousand years\, making each folded crane represent a year of its life. The legend of Sadako Sasaki\, who folded cranes with the hope of regaining her health after being exposed to radiation from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima\, is a well-known example of this tradition. \nThe act of making cranes together can also foster a sense of community and support\, especially during difficult times. \n  \nWhen: Sunday 27 July\, 11am-1pm and facilitated monthly \nWhere: Tamworth Regional Gallery \nCost: FREE\, all materials supplied (more than welcome to bring along your own paper). \nAge: Open to all ages.
