Appleton joined the Compassionate Cities campaign with a community art project that showed how compassion affects daily lives. Starting with high school students, the project began the process of getting the community involved in a discussion of compassion. The project started in Fall 2010 by giving 10,436 Appleton students a 6 by 6 inch art panel. Each student then depicted on their panel how they viewed compassion. The panels were then put on display at the Trout Museum of Art.
