| Abstract | Northern Ireland's well-known civil strife between Catholics and Protestants had enjoyed an uneasy peace, but a recent outbreak of new violence in 2010 caused disappointment to these authors. Bernard Conlon and Tom Anderson collaborated on creating a new children's peace mural with the Kids' Guernica Peace Mural Project in West Belfast. This Kids' Guernica-type peace mural was to become part of a civic arts project shared by both Protestant and Catholic communities. This article describes issues of social justice and civic awareness in initially planning for that mural and the potential roles for art and education in social reconstruction and peace education. What Bernard and the rest of the peace workers in Northern Ireland are trying to do is change perceptions using art and art education as a primary tool, trying to change the paradigm from one of distrust and conflict to one of trust and cooperation between the nationalist and unionist communities. This is a difficult task in a society with 40 years of sectarian hostility and isolation between one community and another but it is certainly a task in which art and education can play a central role. It is through the arts that human beings have always framed their most deeply held values and beliefs (Anderson & Milbrandt, 2005; Dewhurst, 2010), and through presenting positive images, paradigms, possibilities, and dreams for the future in community-centered art education maybe Bernard and his colleagues can indeed help to construct peace in Northern Ireland.
