What does $720 million a day look like?
To date, the Iraq war has cost 1 trillion dollars. And that amount increases by $720 million each day that fighting continues. In an effort to put the cost in perspective, a coalition of local peace groups and individuals is announcing a call to all local artists.
"We are issuing a challenge for artists to create an original work that represents the tremendous amount of money and resources expended in the unpopular conflict," said Gypsy Perry, spokeswoman for the coalition. "The purpose of this art project is to help viewers realize, on an emotional as well as intellectual level, the enormous negative impact that war has on our entire society."

Information on the cost of the Iraq war can be accessed through the internet at www.afsc.org/cost or you may contact Gypsy Perry for a packet of information. We also invite you to disseminate this information to anyone in your art association, classes or to your friends who may be interested in participating.
