Introducing #WOWchs
Wishing on Winds
A Viral Civic Art Project
across our communities.
​#WOWchs is a long-range, citywide, public art project combining Science, Art, and Civic Action within our Communities.
​
Meant to honor and celebrate the Buddhist prayer flag tradition of sending good wishes out on the wind, WOW will focus on our communities’ individual, collective, and global visions of hope in a striking visual representation that inspires connection and local civic engagement.
The flags will be everywhere for everyone, and the wind will help spread goodwill and compassion throughout.
Stay tuned for ways to participate. We look forward to working with you and your group to create beautiful prayer flags. Our vision is to fill the yards, parks and streets of Charleston with shared wishes for fun, art, science, and community.​​​​​​
