The exhibit will feature art by Hope For The Warriors, Frontline Paper-assisted veterans and several independent local veteran artists in different formats – watercolor, oil, and acrylic painting, photography, and Frontline Paper which transforms uniforms into handmade paper used to create storytelling pieces by veterans.

In addition to the exhibit from 5 – 9 p.m., there will be a free workshop open to the community hosted by Frontline Paper as well as panel discussion focusing on how the warrior artists have utilized art to tell a story and/or find healing.
