The Escalette Permanent collection of Art will host two art workshops that are free and open to Veterans, Active Service Members and/or their family members and caregivers.  These two workshops are part of the Creativity After Combat Exhibition, which honors veterans, past and present, and explores the unique ability of visual art to capture aspects of the veteran experience.

No experience or special equipment is required. Limited to 15 participants, ages 10 and up. To register, click here.
