"Peace Poles are individual monuments that have been artistically designed to convey the message “May Peace Prevail on Earth”. This year the Lenexa Arts Council, the City of Lenexa, Kansas and the Lenexa Rotary Club have partnered to organize The Peace Poles Community Art Project. Over 30 individuals and groups have created Peace Poles that are now on display in Black Hoof Park. I encourage you to visit this outdoor exhibit. I will periodically post some of the photos that I have made of them. Cheers to Community Art & Artists!" ~ Marshall Rimann
