At this time when our Democracy is at a crossroads, Concerned Families of Westchester, a 21-yr-old community based peace and justice organization, embarks on a new initiative for 2022,  “Beauty As Fuel for Change”.  Inspiring an exploration of beauty through creative expressions, we call for individuals, families and organizations throughout Westchester to use all the arts to envision and help manifest a better world. By incorporating the art, music, images, writings & activities created, embodying positive, light filled, transformative change, we hope to inspire brand new ideas for our continuing progressive activism, “of the People, by the People, for the People”.  

We are asking for your financial support for this project.  

While the costs of producing the art will be borne by the creators, we hope to raise $10,000 to support the making of a professional-quality video that will document and showcase what the participants have created & use the video in many venues (galleries, community organizations, as well as online) to stimulate discussion and serve as a catalyst for further efforts. 

Exhibits & film screenings are planned for the end of 2022.

We have secured the collaboration of an experienced video editor, and we have already received many (deadline Oct 1) submissions – still photographs and video clips illustrating “Beauty as Fuel for Change.”  The announcement of this project has elicited significant enthusiasm.  Email BeautyAsFuel@gmail.com   Can we count on your financial support to help carry this project to completion?  Thank you!
