In October 2018, participants in the program from Knoxville's Nature's Way Montessori School and their families visited Paris and had their works shown at an exhibition at the town hall of the 14th arrondissement (district) alongside those of their Paris counterparts from Jean Zay Elementary School.

Educators from Nature's Way also made the trip to Paris and brought works by the Jean Zay students back to Knoxville for the KMA exhibition.
The students' works will be displayed from April 2-June 23, 2019. The students' and parents' reception will take place on Sunday, April 28.

This may well be the first time that elementary school children's art from a single project has been exhibited on both sides of the Atlantic!
