New artwork by veterans from across the country is on display at the Takoma Park Community Center.

The exhibition was organized by the City’s Arts and Humanities Division and the Uniting US organization, which helps veterans and their families create art as a means of healing and financial support. The new artwork has been installed to provide an opportunity for more veterans to share their work.

“Art can provide an important avenue for healing from past traumas,” Brendan Smith, the City’s arts and humanities coordinator, said in a statement. “The City of Takoma Park is proud to support veteran artists as a means of thanking them for their service and sharing their creativity with the public.”
