After the exhibit ends October 31, the Lenexa Rotary Club and Rotary Club of Western Johnson County will sell the peace poles during a silent and live auction they will host on Friday, Nov. 12, 2021, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Lenexa City Hall. They have selected Project 1020, which is a cold-weather homeless shelter in Lenexa, as the beneficiary of the proceeds.
The Peace Poles Community Art Project — a series of poles designed by community members and adorned with original art and messages of peace — is on display in Lenexa's Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park through October 31, 2021. The purpose of the exhibit is to inspire peace, hope, creativity, and community involvement. The poles serve as a daily reminder that goodness comes from acts of kindness and that peace comes from goodness.
The Peace Poles Community Art Project is organized as a partnership between the Lenexa Rotary Club, Rotary Club of Western Johnson County, the Lenexa Arts Council and the City of Lenexa. Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park, 87th Street Parkway & Lackman Road, Lenexa, KS 66215.
