PEACE THROUGH ART

For Chelmsford's Daniel Varoujan Hejinian, the peacekeepers of the world are a worthy art form. Hejinian, who came to Massachusetts from Soviet Armenia 24 years ago, created a traveling art exhibit, Peace of Art, dedicated to peacekeepers around the world to show how culture, ethnicity, and humanity are without borders. The Chelmsford Public Library hosts his show this month with a public reception Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. The reception will also feature violin music by Chelmsford High student musicians Vivian and Brian Tang. A graduate of the Yerevan Fine Arts Institute, Hejinian has painted many corporate and religious murals. His work appears at Saint Vartanantz Church in Chelmsford, Holy Cross Church in Belmont, and the Causeway Street Mural at the entrance of Boston's North End. Visit www.peaceofart.org for more details.
