SUMMARY:Veterans -- ArtServe Art Exhibit Explores Life After Military Service
DESCRIPTION:ArtServe is opening a new exhibit coinciding with the Veterans Administration’s 93rd anniversary called “Veterans:  A Family Perspective.”\n\n\nOn U.S. Veterans’ Administration 93rd Anniversary\, ArtServe Art Exhibit  Explores Challenges of Life After Military Service \nFriday\, July 21 Opening Reception Coincides with VA’s 93rd Anniversary; Monday\, September 11 Closing Day Pays Tribute to First Responder Veterans \n \nNinety-three years ago on July 21\, 1930\, the creation of the U.S. Department of Veterans Administration forever changed how Americans cared for our veterans after their active service was completed.   \nTo celebrate that commitment\, ArtServe is opening a new exhibit coinciding with the Veterans Administration’s 93rd anniversary called “Veterans: A Family Perspective.”  The exhibit concludes on Monday\, September 11 in tribute to first responders and other veterans of America’s worst terrorist attack.  \nThe exhibit officially opens with a free\, public reception on Friday\, July 21\, 2023 at ArtServe from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.  ArtServe is located at 1350 E.

The untold story of these families’ courage will be on display at ArtServe.” \nSponsored by Florida Power & Light\, Primo Liquors\, United Way of Broward County’s Mission United\, OutClique magazine and the Navy League of the United States’ Broward County Council’s USS Fort Lauderdale Commissioning Committee\, “Veterans: A Family Perspective” opens to the public on Friday\, July 14.  \nArtServe hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.  \nThanks to a grant from Broward Cultural Division and Culture Builds Florida\, admission to both the July 21 reception and the ongoing exhibit are free. \nArtServe inspires\, supports and advances its diverse members\, artists and community by promoting artistic development\, education and prosperity through the exploration and presentation of the visual and performing arts.  \nAbout ArtServe  \nNamed a “2020 Top-Rated Nonprofit” by GreatNonprofits\, the leading provider of user reviews of charities and nonprofits\, Fort Lauderdale-based ArtServe is an award-winning arts incubator that is advancing the arts for social good as a creative laboratory and hub for experimental artists committed to diversity\, equity and inclusion. Now in its 35th year\, ArtServe has won several awards for innovation in the arts and is supported in part by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council and Florida’s Department of State and the Division of Cultural Affairs.
