Be part of a unique community art project!
Asian legend states that when 1000 Origami cranes are folded, a wish can be granted. Origami cranes have become a symbol of peace through the story of WWII survivor Sadako Sasaki, a Japanese girl who folded a thousand paper cranes to be granted one wish—to live. Her story has inspired people all over the world to fold and display origami cranes as a symbol of peace.
We are bringing that spirit to Central Texas by creating the 1000 Cranes of Peace art installation to raise funds and awareness for programs that provide advocacy, counseling and resources to families seeking peace from domestic violence, sexual assault or trafficking. The art installation will be traveling throughout Central Texas at various museums and businesses. Last year, Austin Children’s Museum, the Austin Museum of Art and the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum featured the 1000 Cranes of Peace display.
