Wegner, Siv Cedering art for Woodstock, Artists for Peace and the Environment 
“Artists for Peace and the Environment”  debuted in summer of ’99 in Rome, NY at the reunion festival for Woodstock. Artists works were collected with the support and agreement of Michael Lang and Robert Kennedy Jr. “Not your parents Woodstock” was the slogan of the event. While curating the collection, I titled the exhibit “Artists for Peace and the Environment.” Calls for peace were not significant that year, peace accords and been signed for Bosnia. The luster of environmental causes was waning somewhat as the glamor of the rally to save the Amazon forest had died out. The Columbine High School massacre lent a picture of an emerging profile of youth in America. Youth and violence. Artists for Peace and the Environment got lost in the shuffle of the violence which surrounded the third Woodstock event. Still, with the help and support of many, I was able to collect what I have called the  Woodstock ’99 Collection. The rising tide of warmth, peace, love and rock and roll of the original Woodstock Nation and all of the hallmark signature anthems were never associated with ’99.

IN an effort to capture the attention to change environmental perceptions the displayed  Graffiti artist Anthony Austang, sculptors Steve Zaluski, and Bob Wade, painter/musicians known and unknown contributed to “Artists for Peace and the Environment”. Capitalizing the importance of peace, love, rock, and roll and Mother Earth these images, new forms of descriptive metaphor addressed the immense magnitude of the issues facing each person then and now. Peace and the Environment are timeless canvases, messages form a simple fundamental universal language, as a collection. The messages that “Now—more than ever—Peace and the Environment go hand in hand.
