This is America through the eyes of our beloved veterans, the true heroes of our time. So much joy comes from our wonderful members, even in the midst of the pandemic. We learn many things from them, as their perspectives have changed throughout their lives. In this work, they have been able to express themselves through art, especially their appreciation of nature. We value them and their varying abilities and contributions to our lives. It is a privilege to see the world through their eyes.
Our new type of ArtPrize venue gives veterans a voice as they share their stories of struggle and healing through art.
