“Wendy Black-Nasta, the founder of and engine that powers Artists for World Peace, is a visionary who inspires people of all ages to channel their artistry as a force for good, one small step at a time. Wendy doesn't want to raise bazillions of dollars and then spend all her time managing that money. She has the ability to focus on small, doable projects…A gifted, successful artist herself, Wendy shows other artists how they can make positive changes for people whose lives are unbelievably difficult. In the process, she unites all kinds of people in the community and demonstrates the potential of grassroots activism.” — Kathleen, volunteer ★★★★★

“Artists for World Peace is an organization that has affected the lives of thousands of people. Working with the foundation has had a huge impact on my life and if you ask anyone else who has worked with AFWP before, I guarantee they would say the same. The organization is proof that a huge difference can be made in the world by a small group of local people. Wendy Black-Nasta is the most amazing person I know. As the central heart and soul of AFWP she is able to bring people together all over the world. In the local community, she brings likeminded artists and volunteers right into her own home. On a larger scale, she has the ability to unite people in multiple countries with the International Peace Belt. Wendy’s devotion to the foundation, to children, to humanity, to peace, and to so much more is stronger than anything I have ever seen. Because of her, I truly believe that Artists for World Peace has the ability to conquer anything.” — Stephanie, volunteer ★★★★★

“…This is truly a group effort where members learn specific skills from each other and are inspired to create functional art pieces [beyond] their imaginings, and which is in itself community-building, and enriching in a life-changing way for many of the younger -- and older!-- members. The proceeds from the first years' event were sufficient to build and staff a safe house in Cambodia for battered women and their children, which is literally saving lives. That is powerful stuff.” — Sarah, volunteer ★★★★★

“Artists for World Peace is a fun, supportive [community] of artists which challenges and channels my creative energies. I so enjoyed designing and making whimsical hats as well as watching people don them knowing that all my joy will materialize in help for others.”

“I have been involved with Artists for World Peace for the past three years; however, I have known the founder, Wendy Black-Nasta, for over 10 years. I was one of her devoted jewelry students as a teenager, and I gained so much from my relationship with her. I was thrilled when I returned home after graduating from college and was invited to the first "sewing session" of a new project for AFWP: Hats for a Cause. I have been a core member of this group since then, and have loved every minute of it. I love working on a creative project with other strong, fascinating women and being able to sell our products to raise money for such worthy causes as building a domestic violence safe house in Cambodia and providing scholarships for children in Brazil, as well as helping local shelters and food banks in our community. I have also helped AFWP with their food/clothing drives for the Rose Bud Reservation in South Dakota. Artists for World Peace is an amazing foundation. Wendy has the biggest heart of anyone I know, and she is determined to make the world a better place. It has been an honor for me to work with AFWP and be part of something much bigger than myself. I have also attended presentations on the Peace Belt, another phenomenal project of AFWP. The impact that the Peace Belt has had on the people of the countries it has traveled to is incredible. It is very inspiring to be part of something so powerful.” — Liz, volunteer ★★★★★
