Registration forms are avail able at Columbia Center. A $25 registration fee is required. The Global Art Project is a grassroots effort that focuses on the value of the arts as a pathway to understand the world as it is and how it might be. It connects people of di verse cultural backgrounds, provides exposure to new ideas and creates a feeling of connection to the whole world. Each registered participant will be matched with a partici pant in another part of the world. Artists have until April 1 to complete their projects. Lo cal works will be shown April 1 - 22 at Columbia Center. Each artist then sends their work to the artist they had been matched with, and will receive that artist’s piece. Columbia Center will then display those works. The art sent to the as signed partner will not be re turned, but becomes a gift of global friendship. “The Art Committee is really looking forward to participating in the Global Art Project,” said Maeona Urban, chair of the committee. “We were surprised that the registration deadline is this month, but we hope that many of our artists will decide to participate.” For further information, call Barbara Peschiera, executive director of Columbia Founda tion, at 397-1139 or by e-mail at bcp@columbia-center.org.
