The Napa Artistry Peace Alliance
What/Who Brings YOU Peace in Your Life?
In 2026, the first seed of this movement will be planted with a summer‑long exhibition at the Jessel Gallery. Artists are invited to create new, commercially viable, emotionally resonant works that express their personal vision of peace — whether it is a view, a creature, a feeling, a friendship, or a moment of stillness.

The Jessel Gallery Presents the Napa Peace Show — A Two‑Month Exhibition Celebrating Unity, Creativity, and Community Healing
Napa, CA — The Jessel Gallery proudly announces the Napa Peace Show, a two‑month exhibition running throughout June and July, created to inspire calm, connection, and shared humanity during a time of widespread division and uncertainty.
The exhibition will open with a two‑day reception on Saturday and Sunday, June 13th and 14th, featuring live artist demonstrations, community engagement, and the debut of a new original song. Admission is free, and all are warmly invited to attend.
A Show Built Around One Question: “What Brings You Peace?”
Participating artists were invited to create a work responding to the prompt: “What brings you peace?”
The result is a deeply personal and visually compelling collection of paintings, sculptures, and mixed‑media works that explore serenity, resilience, nature, memory, and the universal longing for harmony.
Live Artist Demonstrations
Throughout the opening weekend, several artists will demonstrate their creative process live in the gallery, offering visitors a rare opportunity to witness the inspiration behind the work. Among the featured artists is internationally recognized painter Olaf Schneider, traveling from Canada to participate in this special event.
Local Vendor Partners
The Napa Peace Show also includes a curated group of local branded vendors whose offerings reflect the spirit of craftsmanship and community connection. Participating partners include:
- Bougie Napa Candles
- Romeo Vineyards and Cellars
- The Vintage Sweet Shoppe Chocolate
- Nuts by Napa Nuts
These vendors will be present during the opening reception, adding a sensory and culinary dimension to the experience.
Debut of the New Song “Napa Peace”
Gallery founder and artist Jessel Miller will introduce her new original song, “Napa Peace,” produced by acclaimed composer and multi‑instrumentalist Don Schiff. The song serves as the musical heart of the Napa Peace Project and reflects Miller’s mission to foster unity and compassion through art and storytelling.
“Napa Peace” is available now on all major streaming platforms, including Amazon Music.
A Message for the Community
“In these times of divisive and troubled energy, my goal is to bring people together on common ground,” says Miller. “Art has the power to calm the chaos in our daily lives, and this show is an invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what brings each of us peace.”
