NCAG COSPONSORS EXHIBITION OF VETERAN PHOTOGRAPHY AT MUSEUM OF DANISH AMERICA
Now open on the main floor of the Museum of Danish America:
Vetted View II -an exhibition of New Century Art Guild’s U.S. Military veterans that have studied or are currently studying photography.
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
