The Woodmere Art Museum in Chestnut Hill is exhibiting art created by students in the Upper School’s Drawing Intensive class who were inspired by the concept, “Peace and Love.” Herman Davis P’14, is the founder of the PeaceLove Foundation, which promotes nonviolence in schools and using art as a healing tool.

The exhibit runs until October 23.
