33 visual artists celebrate the World Peace Day

On September 21 was the International World Peace Day and to celebrate it, Gabriel Benderski designed a symbol depicting the world peace. Then, Gabriel invited 33 artists from 15 countries to design a poster expressing their own vision of the world peace symbol.

An exhibition will take place on October 3 at 5:30 PM at the DelPlata Office, at a coworking center in the center of Montevideo where friends and family will be invited to celebrate and reflect this maximum ideal of freedom and happiness.

The organizers intend to make an official auction of the posters on the last day of the exhibition (October 11) where all the collected money will be donated to the school No. 210 Petrona Viera, a special public school for the intellectually disabled.
