The Binghamton Cost of War Show, another element of the local awareness campaign, will feature national, regional and local artists in multiple media who will more broadly interpret the theme “cost of war,” including the social, moral, physical, and financial costs of war.

The show, which will run for two months, will open June 4th with an artist reception from 6pm – 9pm, including a diverse entertainment lineup from drummers to the spoken word. A participatory mural will provide an opportunity for everyone attending the show to record their views by drawing or writing their contributions. The show is in Binghamton City Hall Gallery, and gallery hours are from Monday-Friday from 8am – 4pm.
The group also announced that the Cost of War Contest is being extended until June 15th, with the winner being selected randomly from all correct entries and presented the $100 cash prize at the July First Friday reception. The quiz can be found on Binghamton Bridge’s website (www.binghamtonbridge.org), an independent community media group that is co-sponsoring this awareness and education campaign.

Some interesting facts: Binghamton taxpayers have contributed $138.6 million to the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars since 2001. New York State taxpayers have already contributed $67 BILLION to 7 years of war in Iraq. According to National Priorities Project, the cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars topped $1 TRILLION this week
