New Century Art Guild, its board and membership wish to bid farewell to our late NCAG President, Jim O’Keefe. After an interesting and much-storied life, and subsequent battle with cancer, Jim passed away in his sleep early this morning, one day after his 69th birthday. We send our prayers best wishes to Jim’s wife, Phyllis, to all his family members, Naval buddies and dear friends.

We are truly honored that a man of Jim’s character and wisdom took an interest and then a commanding presence in our organization. Jim had a gift to bring fun and lightheartedness to almost any situation…he was truly was one of a kind. His wisdom and legacy will continue in the lives of the veterans and families that NCAG reaches.

As a lasting symbol of our gratitude, Jim was made an NCAG lifetime member this day, Feb. 5th 2019. We salute you, Commander O’Keefe!

In addition to therapeutic art making, NCAG also provides training in art and business-of-art education to motivated military veteran artists in order that they may successfully pursue new careers in the fine arts as artists, teachers, or administrators as they reintegrate into civilian society.

This exhibition is curated and co-sponsored by New Century Art Guild. Reminder: admission is free for past & present members of the military!

New Century Art Guild is a non-profit arts organization co-founded by veterans and artists that was established to transform veterans’ lives through the power of art. The organization offers valuable resources to vets just looking for a little relaxation, to those seeking a new career in the arts. They have the combined experience and resources to assist veterans making the transition into the mindset, or career, that they want.

“Art is a powerful force. It has the ability to tell stories and to express deep emotions; it has the ability to relax the mind and encourage creative problem solving. It is a force perfectly suited to helping veterans and military families in their readjustment to civilian life.”

— Troy J. Muller, NCAG Co-Founder & Instructor
