Pamela Alderman, the exhibition’s organizer says quote, “Art for Honor” creates a unique space for our local veterans to share their stories through creative expression,” she adds, “By showcasing their work, we honor their service while fostering a sense of community, understanding, and empathy.” End quote.
The exhibition not only gives veterans a platform to express their experiences through art but also provides them with an opportunity to sell their work—offering validation and support as part of their healing process.
