Three schools; Silicon Valley Academy (Muslim), and Yavneh Day School and the Congregation Shir Hadash (both Jewish) all in California got together to try to bring together two communities; Jews and Muslims.
They complied artworks for an exhibition “Coexistence Through Art" held on Nov. 27 at the Addison-Penzak Jewish Community Center, 14855 Oka Road in Los Gatos.
They are trying to get out the message of coexistence. They feel that it is the future and that we can work things out in the Middle East if we can respect each other.
It is a wonderful endeavor and commendable indeed.

AerosolArabic
It is not often one comes across an artist who appeals to the masses. Mohammed Ali is one such artist. He uses the spray can in a most inspiring way to spread the messages of Islam in a creative and beautiful way.

He has been creating murals in the Us but he is from England and is working hard there and Europe to promote Arabic calligraphy through an unlikely media; graffiti. A sure way to touch the man in the street. I wish that my students would be able to interact with him. They would be so motived like I am.

Zarah Hussain
An article in the BBC online newspapers captured me when I read about an exciting artist. http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/content/articles/2007/11/30/walthamforest_handasah_feature.shtml
Zarah Hussain is from Pakistan. She paints simple yet elaborate works of art using simple geometric shapes to form intricate designs and patterns. She is exhibiting her work at the Walthamstow gallery until the end of this month, January, 2008.
As I don’t live in London I cannot view her art in exhibit. But never the less I can enjoy her work from a “distance”.
From her websitehttp://www.zarahhussain.co.uk/ I can tell that she embodies her belief in her art and certainly can be an example for many to follow. I really am impressed with her designs and inspired by her talent.
