They’ve travelled from New Jersey to Argentina to Thailand. They’ve been exhibited in galleries, classrooms and kitchens. Their message has been taught in schools, recreated by community orgs and featured in TV, print and blogs. After 12,000 boxes and counting, the time has come for our little boxes of Peace, Love and Hope to have their own home.

With much excitement (and a lot of love) FdLM studio has launched a new site for all things boxes!  Need to request a box? Set up a workshop? Have a pic to share? Want to support the project?

About The Priority Boxes Art Project
The "Priority Boxes" project is a public art series that seeks to initiate dialogue on peace, challenge people to reconsider their ability to influence change and question the fragility, value and priority given to those concepts. With labels that read "Fragile Contains: Peace, Love or Hope", visual artist Franck de Las Mercedes sends abstractly painted, seemingly empty boxes to anybody, anywhere in the world, for free. Each box, sent by mail to anyone who requests one, is both a canvas for a unique abstract painting and a platform for communication through art. A mixture of art and activism, the boxes are sent free to convey that something of such priority as peace should not have a price and that art can be both inclusive and accessible to all. From his small New Jersey studio, the artist has sent over 10,000 boxes around the globe, to countries in every continent. Since its beginning in 2006, the project has been funded by the artist and donations and has evolved into a movement that has been embraced by popular culture, the mainstream media, schools and art educators across America.
