In 2010, they hope to organize a gala in Egypt, the country where murals originated, and literally create a 4th pyramid installation exhibition. With all the soul and spirit of peace makers, we’ll imagine how this exhibition of the century will resonate beyond the planet when combined with the soul and spirit of the pyramids!!!” - Joanne Tawfilis : Founder of Art Miles
