How you can help…
If you have ever had some connection to any of our member organizations or events, we really need you to inform the leadership at the CH-UH Library and City Hall that you are concerned about our welfare. They have heard directly from those of us who work for these organizations or serve on their boards over and over again, but you are the ones they simply cannot ignore. Help us “Keep The P.E.A.C.E.”.
The organizations of Coventry PEACE are open-minded and willing partners in working with key stakeholders to create a solution to establish a permanent home for an arts, culture and education center. We are certain that through these collective efforts there is a solution that will be acceptable to all, especially the thousands of community members we all serve each year. But we are down to weeks, not months. There are amazing opportunities when organizations like ours have a public institution as a strong partner—opportunities that ultimately cost the City little or nothing.
There are a number of ways you can currently help us in our effort to establish a permanent Arts, Culture and Education Center…
Complete our landlord’s survey
The Library (building owner) is currently conducting a survey to collect feedback from the community on the fate of our building. Several of the question only offer bad options for answers and there is very little opportunity to show support of what already exists in the building – the Coventry P.E.A.C.E. project.
We would encourage you to check the boxes for “OTHER” and use the text fields to state the building should not be demolished and Coventry P.E.A.C.E. should be given a long-term lease and the ability to manage the building and finance its improvements.

What is Coventry PEACE Campus?
When the school district sought to divest itself from the former Coventry Elementary School building in 2017, leaving its future uncertain, the leaders of all the tenant organizations and a broad base of community supporters came together in a grassroots movement to propose ways to preserve and grow the thriving culture and service ecosystem that had organically taken root there. From this effort, the Coventry PEACE Campus came into being. Coventry P.E.A.C.E., Inc. is the non-profit overseeing the maintenance, sustainability, renovation and development of the Coventry PEACE Building, which houses several local nonprofits. It is our goal to provide an accessible, sustainable, more efficient, and affordable home for these nonprofits, and to attract new organizations to the building.
