Open Hours – Garden State Art Weekend
POP-UP : Mill to Mill Peace Flag Project with Art Circle
Casual Gathering to work on your Peace Flag for the Mill to Mill Peace Flag Project, a public art display of handmade peace flags that will be displayed as a shared expression of hope, unity and goodwill. Community members are asked to create peace flags that will be displayed together outside The Red Mill Museum Village and the Hunterdon Art Museum. Inspired by traditional prayer flags, community members are invited to participate in creating a piece reflects the maker’s personal interpretation of the question:
“What does peace look like to you?”
Through symbols, colors, words, images or textures, every flag becomes a message of peace carried outward into the world.
The Mill to Mill Peace Flag Project is part of Handwork 2026, Craft in America’s nationwide semiquincentennial collaboration showcasing the importance of the handmade and celebrating the diversity of craft that defines America.
How to Make a Peace Flag
-
Each flag begins with a 9-inch square of natural fabric—materials like cotton muslin, linen or wool are ideal. To prepare your fabric:
-
Cut your fabric to 9” wide x 10.25” tall.
-
Fold down the top 1.25” to create a 1” channel.
-
Sew the fold in place. This channel will allow the flags to be strung together like bunting.
*Important: Because the flags will hang outdoors and may eventually release fibers into the environment, only natural materials should be used. Please avoid glues (including hot glue), staples, plastics, synthetics and chemical inks. Use natural threads and non-toxic, water-based dyes and paints whenever possible. Flags may not contain symbols of hate or divisiveness. This is a curated exhibit; submission does not guarantee inclusion.
When complete participant can submit their flag
