Artists for World Peace links communities of artists with communities in need. During the event, the performers wore the International Peace Belt (TIPB), created by Artists For World Peace founder Wendy Black-Nasta, with coins and gems representing 115 countries. Since its completion in 2003, TIPB has traveled to over 30 countries on 5 continents. Wherever TIPB travels, dancers, artists, musicians, peace activists, and spiritual leaders meditate on and lend their voices to support peace. In this way, TIPB is transformed into a living link between cultures and a symbol of peace and unity of all nations, of all people as one.
