Shoot For Peace Edmonton | the essence of being

AUGUST 23–September 6, 2025

Opening Reception: Friday, August 23rd at 6:30PM

The second annual Shoot for Peace Edmonton photography exhibition, “The Essence of Being,” explores the raw truth of what makes us human. "The Essence of Being" explores the core of your identity and the unseen layers that shape your life, through experiences such as joy, grief, faith, culture, resistance, or self-discovery.

Come and celebrate the artistic expression and personal stories captured through the lenses of our talented photographers. Don't miss this inspiring evening of art, community, and storytelling.

Shoot for Peace is a non-profit, youth-led community organization in Edmonton with the mission of community healing through art.
