Join us for an exhibition of veteran art in the Chicagoland region!

Today is Giving Tuesday! Please consider a tax-deductible donation to New Century Art Guild! https://shareomaha.org/donate?nonprofit=8228

100% of your donation will serve veterans and their families through the medium of art!

Today, we honor all Veterans from all branches of the armed forces and extend our gratitude for their service. We also would like to recognize all military families for their efforts and advocacy in support of our service members.

New Century Art Guild continues to support veterans, active military, and their families through art — ranging from group workshops to professional arts training. A powerful side benefit from these activities is a substantial reduction of the depression associated with PTSD and the re-integration of these veterans into a fulfilling role in civilian society.

Today and every day — thank you for your sacrifices, for your valor, for the things you carry, and your service.

“Art can reach people in a way that sometimes no other means of expression can.”
— Sharon Robino-West, USMC Veteran

NCAG thanks NAC for their support of NCAG’s Vet-X-Press workshop series.

New Century Art Guild’s “Vet-X-Press” (VXP) workshop series, veterans have an opportunity to unburden mental strain in the form of self-expressed artwork created in an environment that promotes healing and relaxation. Participants use different artistic media each session, including visual art, writing, music and acting. All experience levels are welcome, and no previous experience is required. Workshop series are always free to veterans, their family members and support staff

Our primary goal is to use the expressive and healing powers of artmaking with military veterans to ultimately transform their lives through the power of art.

On January 15th, 2022, after a “call for models” was sent out by the Office of Public Affairs, three airmen from the 55th Wing were selected to volunteer their time and likenesses to be 3D scanned and photographed in Vietnam-era battle uniforms. The poses were used to create life-size bronze sculpture for the centerpiece of the Nebraska Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the “Huey Rescue Scene” which features an actual Huey helicopter. The official opening of the memorial (pending any delays) is set for June 6, 2024. New Century Art Guild, Inc. sponsored the model shoot and is a major sponsor of the completed statuary.

The three participating Airmen are:
