The Worlds Children Peace Monument (WCPM) at Coe Lake Park in Berea,
Ohio has been recently appraised
for marketing and insurance purposes at $2,400,000. This means that the 4 square foot of real
estate that the Sculpture sits on is $600,000 per square foot!
The Worlds Children Peace
Monument is an original sculpture
conceived during EXPO 2000, the Worlds Fair held in Hannover, Germany
by American Cultural Ambassadors David and Renate Jakupca. It was designed and
built by David Jakupca at the historic ARK in Berea as a project of the International Center
for Environmental Arts (ICEA) in cooperation with the United Nations 2000
Culture of Peace Program. The WCPM was organized in support of the UN Decade of
Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World and the United Nations
Millennium Development Goals.
The WCPM was officially inaugurated in 2003 at the 3rd World
Peace Conference held in Verbania,
Italy where it
received an Italian Medal of Arts Award. It was debuted at its present location
during the 2003 Berea Arts Fest. The WCPM Project is to encourage positive
community participation through the establishment of international
site-specific works of public art, through cultural education and
entrepreneurial training to children around the World.
The WCPM Appraisal is another step forward to naturalizing
‘Great American Peace Trail’, the coast-to-coast trail of WCPM Peace Stones in
city parks designed to stop the violence in America’s youth. The WCPM Appraisal also serves as a milestone
for the 'Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts' and that is, promoting a
sustainable global Culture of Peace for all Living Things. North East Ohio Area has been 'branded' as
the Home of the Environmental Art Movement by the International Center for
Environmental Arts (ICEA) as a 'Cultural Industry' to foster civic identity,
cultivate tourism, and brand Ohio Environmental Arts and Culture in the
Bioregion.
ABOUT: David Jakupca, is a Czech-American Philosopher,
Ambassador, Artist, Activists and Author. He serves both as American Cultural
Ambassador and Universal Peace Ambassador in International capacities. He is
extremely influential through his works, especially as philosophical advocate
and practitioner of the environmental arts methods developing the Sustainable
Age revolution. Jakupca is the 'Spiritual Father of the Environmental
Art’ Movement and is the co-creator with his wife Renate of the 'Theory of
Iceality on Environmental Arts'. His works established and popularized
inductive formula's for scientific inquiry, sometimes called the Iceality Method. His demand for a planned procedure of
investigating all things natural marked a new turn in the rhetorical and
theoretical framework for the science of aesthetics, much of which surrounds
conceptions of proper Environmental Art Methodology today.
