Innovation is part of everything we do at the Kindred Credit Union Centre for Peace Advancement (CPA). The beehive of activity emerging from the CPA can be linked back to our three core programs. We support and engage in collaborative research through the Core Collaborators program, catalyze outside-of-the-box solutions to local and global problems through the Epp Peace Incubator program, and experiment with the artistic expression of important peacebuilding ideas in the Grebel Gallery. Stay connected through our new e-newsletter.
Advancing peace through the arts
Engage, inspire, or admire—the Grebel Gallery is one way the CPA promotes whole-bodied engagement in important peace issues. It welcomes community members to engage in the themes and questions each exhibit highlights, and encourages mutual learning and shared action. The gallery is governed by a team of artists and creatives from Kitchener-Waterloo and hosts three exhibits per year.
