Public Assembly, named after one of the five freedoms in the First Amendment, is a non-profit organization dedicated to involving children and adults in public arts activities to promote non-violence and civil liberties.

The Peace Parasol Project has involved hundreds of youth and adults in painting somber black umbrellas into popular symbols of hope for peace and justice. The project has been growing with activities at large public events in Washington D.C., New York City and numerous venues around N.C.'s Research Triangle.

Another project is the Twin Towers of Democracy / City on a Hill mobile public sculpture project. This project is involving the public in creating their own historical monuments with cardboard boxes to educate ourselves about the history of the struggle for peace and civil liberties, and provoke a more vital public dialogue about what needs to be changed about America to “Fulfill the Promise” as well as what is worth “Preserving and Protecting.“

PUBLIC ASSEMBLY would like to work with you, your civic group, faith group, or school, on future events and campaigns. We can help you to raise funds and generate publicity for your organization while  creating a more vibrant civic life in your community! 

We appreciate your financial support and feedback! ">Please make a donation to help us catch up with the posting of the HUNDREDS of other wonderful photos we have of peace parasols and painters from many events up and down the East Coast. Also this will help us pay for the umbrellas, paint, gas, and other direct expenses we incur, so we can continue these very successful events! Send donations and inquiries to: PUBLIC ASSEMBLY 406 Kent Dr. Cary, N.C. 27511 Thank You!
