In 2007, the Quad Cities will host a series of activities examining some of the major coexistence issues that will define the 21 st century; poverty, ethnic conflicts, refugees, as well as local issues including immigration and coexisting with the Mississippi River. The nucleus of this endeavor is the traveling art exhibition, coming this fall.
