The Sadat Arts for Justice and Peace Program
The Sadat Arts for Justice and Peace Program is a partnership between the Anwar Sadat Chair for Justice and Peace and Arts for All that brings together the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences and the College of Arts and Humanities to engage students at the University of Maryland.
The Anwar Sadat Chair for Peace and Development, housed in the Department of Government and Politics, and Arts for All, in cooperation with the Department of Art, the Department of English, and the School of Music, hosted the inaugural year of three competitions during the 2024 spring semester. The competitions were: The Sadat Music for Justice and Peace, The Sadat Poetry for Justice and Peace, and The Sadat Art for Justice and Peace.

Arts for All Announces the Student Winners of the 2025 Sadat Arts for Justice and Peace Competition!
This year’s entries were inspired by Greta Thunberg's words: “The fight for social justice is the fight for climate justice. We can’t have one without the other.” The winning pieces creatively highlight the intersection between social and environmental justice through visual art, poetry, music composition and chamber music performance.
