Veterans
A CALL FOR ART​

In honor of National Veterans Month, we invite veteran artists from our community to submit artwork for an upcoming exhibition dedicated to showcasing and celebrating their creative voices.

This exhibition is open to veterans of all military branches, working in any medium—painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, fiber, ceramics, digital art, or anything in between. There is no theme beyond uplifting and recognizing the diverse creative expressions of veterans. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or sharing your work for the first time, we welcome your submission!​
