Austria is a country where Peacepainting has its own branch and website: Peacepainting Austria.
Hannes Stockhammer became fascinated with the idea, and initiated setting up the Peacepainting Austria branch.

Friends and family are very important and I don't want to lose them…

Workshop in Kirchdorf, Austria
We traveled to Almtal in Austria and trained instructors. Since then, they have done a phenomenal job with plenty of workshops and exhibitions.
They have also handed over a painting to the former Austrian President, Heinz Fischer.
In addition, they handed over a painting to Josef Weidenholzer. He is a member of the EU parliament and the president of Volkshilfe (organisation working to help socially disadvantaged people in Austria).
