Yoko Ono

Imagine Peace kicked off the Walker Art Center’s 2004 Billboard Project.
Five artists in total were asked to create artwork for a
billboard at the intersection of Hennepin Ave. & 12th St.
Ono’s first billboard , a 1969 collaboration with John Lennon, was erected in
London and declared War Is Over!
The internet has allowed Ono to take her message beyond 2004 and Minneapolis.
An Imagine Peace Tower has been constructed in Iceland. It’s possible to send a message to the tower via imaginepeace.com
