The Art of
Peace Charitable Trust (AOPCT) in collaboration with
Black Tie Magazine will have a booth at this year’s Couture
Fashion Week. The event will be held February 12-14, 2010 at
the legendary Waldorf-Astoria on New York City’s Park
Avenue.
Lin Evola, the charity’s founder and lead artist, will be on
hand to answer guests’ questions and provide information on
the organization.
“We are delighted to be a part of Couture Fashion Week,”
notes Lin Evola. “This is an amazing opportunity for the
charity to
promote our cause of transforming illegal
firearms into inspirational art
at an event such as this,
where we will be surrounded with other great
artists and
designers.
I must thank
Couture Fashion Week producer Andres Aquino and
Gerard
McKeon of
Black Tie Magazine for allotting us this opportunity.”
The Art of Peace Charitable Trust and Black Tie Magazine
have a lasting relationship that dates back to 2001when
Black Tie covered an event in which former Mayor Rudolph
Giuliani was given the one foot Peace Angel Award for his
efforts following 9/11. Over the ensuing decade the
relationship has continued to grow and flourish.
The Art of Peace Charitable Trust evolved from the Peace
Angels Project, which was founded in 1992. AOPCT is a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to serving the
public interest by interrupting the cycle of violence and
actualizing change on a local, regional and national basis. AOPCT
works with local, federal, and international government
agencies to gather surrendered illegal firearms and nuclear
weapons casings to
melt them down and create inspirational
public monuments.
