ABOUT THE PEACE STUDIO

Established in 2020, The Peace Studio (TPS) is a national non-profit (501c3) organization that develops artists and journalists who seek to inspire hope and catalyze transformative social change. At the heart of our work is the belief that artists and journalists are the ones best positioned to respond to a violent world. Their stories and work will either shape our culture towards greater justice and peace, or away from it. Since its founding, TPS has served more than 350 artists and journalists to this end, providing them with funding, tools, mentorship, and platforms to create the change they wish to see in their own communities.
