RPF will be unveiling its inaugural Art of Peace exhibit on May 11 at 5:30 p.m. at the Temple Art Lofts, 707 Marin Street, in Vallejo, Calif., during the city’s monthly 2nd Friday Art Walk. The event is the culmination of an eight-month project that started with the foundation’s Solano County Gun Buyback held on August 26, 2017. Materials from decommissioned firearms from the buyback, as well as from weapons collected from law enforcement agencies from throughout Northern California were distributed to selected artists for RPF’s Art of Peace project to turn into art. All artists will be present. The event will also include a pop-up dinner by League of Chefs at 6:30 pm and a healing ceremony with victims and survivors of gun violence at 8 pm.
