Peace by Piece
Craven Arts Council & Gallery is seeking sponsors and participants for an upcoming public art project, Peace by Piece. This sculpture is inspired by the book 1001 Cranes by Naomi Hirahara and is the second project in our Art in Public Places initiative. Peace by Piece will be a long term installation featuring spiraling cranes suspended from a 35’ pole. Craven Arts Council will send packets of materials containing the weatherproof paper and instructions on how to make a crane to as many community members as possible so that each crane is made by a member of our community. If you or your organization are interested in becoming a sponsor, please call us at 252-638-2577 or email us at info@cravenarts.org. If you or your organization are interested in making cranes, please check our website under the Peace by Piece tab for all updates. Let’s work together to bring the community together, piece by piece.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular paper for this project?
No. Since this is an outdoor piece, we are using a special kind of plastic composite sheets that are weatherproof. If you would like a packet of 25 pieces of Tyvek or more, contact CAC&G or visit the Bank of the Arts to learn more!
Can I draw or paint on the Tyvek?
Yes! Please draw or paint the Tyvek before you fold it into a crane. Make sure that your paint is not thick or does not have too much water mixed in with it as this will affect the Tyvek. If you are looking for an opaque color like paint, Sharpie Oil Based Paint pens are a great solution as they are opaque like acrylic or oil paint, but apply like a marker and are not thick.
What do I do with the cranes once I am done?
Please return all origami cranes to the Bank of the Arts so that we can install the cranes!
