ICAP SupportersEdward James Olmos, actor: "It seems that ICAP's mission is to work for world peace with the understanding of the work of the artist." Herbie Hancock, musician: "The arts have always served relationships between people of different cultures so well. In a way, the arts function as a very serious kind of ambassador. An organization like ICAP, with determined spirit, working toward world peace, can be a very powerful message and shows action in doing what many political figures cannot for peace." Patrick Duffy, actor: "Our event honoring Carlos Santana was a seed for what we hope will be ICAP's participation in reqarding people for their humanitarian efforts first and their artistic efforts second. I think everybody can develop the frame of mind that says, 'I just have to extend myself beyond my art, or with my art, for other people.' That is really what we are trying to encourage people to do." Wayne Shorter, musician: ICAP is a breakthrough organization that is needed for the 21st century. The arts can open the door to the imagination, pushing the envelope of how peace can be created. It takes courage to take this kind of risk, and courage is what we all need to create a better world." Dr. Lawrence E. Carter, Sr., Dean: ICAP's mission is to awaken artists to their unique role to uplift and enlighten humanity's spirit. We intend to encourage them to be the drum majors of a great movement for peace. We want to acknowledge those artists who have shown an ability and a willingness to work for peace. Tadatoshi Akiba, Mayor, Hiroshima, Japan: We thoroughly respect the mission of ICAP and look forward to any opportunity to work together toward our shared goal of world peace.
