The true nature of the democratic process begins and thrives by public participation and dies without it.
rePublicArt's ongoing participation projects started with the "We the People" exhibit. This outdoor city lamppost gallery was first displayed on the streets of New Haven, CT and is now traveling to other cities. Artworks visually depict the Preamble to the US Constitution, America the Beautiful, Amendments and more. Artworks continue to be created by groups, schools, individuals and artists based on the theme of Democracy.

Teach Democracy through a Public Art Gallery People involved in arts-in-education are aware of the unique ability to teach diverse and sometimes difficult subject matter through the arts experience. Who takes the time and interest to read and understand the US Constitution? If we could only add artwork and and color to those pages of legal and sometimes archaic terminology, one might make it past the first page.
For example the banner below " My Home is My Castle" summarizes the 4th amendment and may inspire you to read and understand more about this or other amendments. The association of an image will automatically help you recall its comprehensive intent.

......on TREES & FORESTS and Guilt-free wood?
Guilt-free wood?- this exhibit intends to increase public knowledge of forests and forestry, participation in protecting our forests, and the use of guilt-free wood. The exhibit will display artistic interpretations of trees and forests and their uses. Exhibit debuts May, 03.
TREES
Conservation of our forests started after centuries of deforestation. Trees and forests play a significant role in our daily lives. It is our goal to balance public appreciation for the diversity of forest products that wood provides and the beauty of the natural material while emphasizing our global and local need to conserve natural resources. Conscientious and long term planning for sustainability of our forests as a natural resource has brought about the use of the term "Guilt-free" wood. Guilt-free wood is harvested to cause the least harm to their habitats and the continued life of the forest. Insist on Guilt-free wood to build your home and other products.
