| PAST PROJECTS / SARAJEVO |
| The Need |
| Sarajevo was torn apart by war in 1992. It remained under siege
until 1996. The city sustained considerable damage and many residents were
killed. Food and shelter were scarce making creative expression nearly
impossible to access or afford. |
 |
|
| The Project |
| Project Palette delivered donated art supplies to working artists
and patients at a pediatric care hospital in Sarajevo shortly after the war in
Bosnia ended. It was the first time many of the children had ever even held a
crayon. |
|
|
| The Outcome |
| The results were overwhelmingly positive for the children and
local artists. Hospital workers reported seeing a dramatic improvement in their
patients. The local artists used the art supplies to work through the stress and
grief caused by war and create new avenues for dialogues for peace. |
