GLASS HOUSES PAPER JOURNALS
by The Arts Bus & Dayna Marie Sabatino
📘📙🖋✒️🖍🏘🏠🏡
The Arts Bus is launching Bethel's PEACE by Piece Project called GLASS HOUSES PAPER JOURNALS, designed by local artist, Dayna Sabatino of Day Breaks Glass. Once installed, this community collage will be a glass mosaic village and bound journal that shares villagers' journal pages & drawings about moments of joy and acts of kindness that happened in our homes & village in 2020.
📕🖊How to Participate:
The week of October 19th, "Piece Kits" will be avaiable to Bethel residents containing instructions, blank sheets of paper and permanent markers for residents of ANY age to create journal entries by month-end. Piece Kits will be available to the public for pick-up/drop-off at the Bethel Public Library, Spaulding Press and Bethel Village Sandwich Shop, plus 200 kits are being delivered to Bethel Elementary. If the community participates like we hope, Dayna will be equipped with hundreds of journal pages to assemble in November into glass houses, with the first installation planned at Bethel Village Sandwich Shop this holiday season, where her artwork and a bound community journal will be displayed. Then, we aim for her mosaic masterpiece to travel outdoors and other public locations as a timeless gift to Bethel and reminder of its resilience.

☮️The Arts Bus PEACE by Piece Project is a township-based community collage of shared expressions of peace. The concept was designed by The Arts Bus in early 2020 to facilitate & foster community connections through ART even while physically distanced by the COVID-19 pandemic, suffering economic pain & confronting civil unrest. Through the project, The Arts Bus is commissioning local artists in 8-10 towns to design a community collage that evokes peace in pieces and in the whole, to result in a permanent or semi-permanent installation in a public space(s). The art is meant to reflect and be influenced by the events of 2020, allowing for subjective, authentic self-expression by all participants.
The PEACE by Piece Project funding was "spark'd" by The Vermont Community Foundation's SPARK! Connecting Community Grant program and is otherwise being supported by local contributions and long-term grantors, sponsors, township & art education enthusiasts. This timeless project received support from Spaulding Press and Bethel Village Sandwich Shop, plus the bus is seeking more local sponsors to create a lasting public legacy art piece. The Arts Bus is seeking donations & sponsors for its work, all of whom will be richly rewarded with gratitude & attribution plus all our rainbow wishes of good fortune!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, #BETHEL, for sharing another example of community PEACE by Piece!
