Veterans and their families need you to invest in their art
In every work of art there is a story, an experience, and an attempt to explain a life lived, and sometimes lost.
This truly unique museum features work by United States military veterans from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam through our current conflicts, including my own. As a Marine Corps veteran who served during the early days of Operation Enduring Freedom, and the daughter of a Vietnam Marine, I find great strength in the courage of our veteran artists to share their truths and talents with us.
The National Veterans Art Museum aims to inspire a greater understanding of the impact of military service. While the museum collects, preserves and exhibits art created by veterans to nurture connection, we envision a world where we come home to communities that engage with the Veteran experience in hopes of working towards the unity that we shared when we served.
With your help, we can continue to provide a place to care for, and share, the work of our veteran artist of the past, present and emerging. My hope is that the future generation of veterans will not have a need for places like NVAM to amplify their work. Until that day, we are here to support them. As a nonprofit institution, the National Veterans Art Museum relies heavily on monetary and in-kind donations to accomplish its mission of inspiring a greater understanding of the lived experiences of war.
Your unrestricted, 100% tax-deductible contribution to the museum helps us keep the doors open and the lights on so we can continue our vital efforts. Every gift, no matter the size, enables us to preserve and exhibit an important part of our nation's history: the veteran story.
We truly appreciate your contribution and your continued support.
With gratitude,
Giselle
