I’m very proud to announce that we’ve just launched our latest collection of illustrated coasters to promote #PeaceOnEarth!

For the past 19 years, Anna Goodson Illustration Agency, has pulled together to bring new and unique illustrations for our coaster collections. Every year we focus on raising awareness for an important cause that is close to our hearts.

Previous collections consist of topics such as reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and environmental protection.

The world could always use more peace and a touch of art. That is why we decided this year to have our artists from around the globe come together to support #PeaceOnEarth. These illustrations represent the diversity, freedom, and beauty of our collective world.

We hope that these inspiring pieces will serve as a warm reminder of our hopes and dreams for a better and peaceful world.

Our Coasters are festive.

This holiday season, our artists used this opportunity to promote peace on earth festively. December is all about giving and reflecting on the year. When fighting for global peace, take this opportunity to reflect on the past year and remind yourself of the positives, the negatives, and what you need to change in the upcoming year in order to achieve peace.

Our Coasters make a statement.

Many issues must be brought up when discussing peace such as gender, race, and class equality, climate change and environmental protection, and religious freedom. Ignoring issues, even if they do not personally affect you, will delay the path towards peace. As a community, it is vital to come together and discuss and resolve these issues.

Our Coasters promote Unity.

Without unity, there is no peace. It takes one person to destroy something but a village to build it back up. This mindset is important while fighting for global change. Our artists used this opportunity to promote unity and show how important it is when trying to achieve peace.

Our Coasters are Global.

#PeaceOnEarth is a global fight. Everyone must participate in building unity and peace while fighting global inequalities and challenges. Fighting for peace means that you must worry about more than just your backyard.

Our Coasters are Peaceful

Peace will never be achieved overnight, and constant challenges are thrown in the path. Without discussing and fighting for universal peace, the cage will never be lifted, and peace will never be achieved.

Our Coasters promote relationships.

2020 has shown us how meaningful relationships are. While many people have been separated from friends and family, people have to develop creative and innovative ways to stay connected. People must take this time to appreciate and respect those around them.

There are many ways to make peace, but to achieve it takes time, work, and effort. We believe that by promoting global peace, we can create a better world where greater peace and prosperity can be achieved for all.

Although our coasters will not be available in physical form, join us in this year’s campaign by beginning conversations, raising awareness, and fighting for more significant change. You can do this by sharing and liking our coasters on social media and promoting our artists’ hard work.

We hope that next year we will once again be able to offer our coasters physically. Until then, we must have the resilience and fight on in this virtual-art world we find ourselves in.

View all our coasters on our website now!

Join us for #PeaceOnEarth. A step towards peace is all it takes.
