VSA Texas presents Distinguished Artist Veterans, our third annual group exhibition by Texas Veterans with disabilities. This year’s event will be a touring exhibit from November 2011 to November 2012. The exhibit starts at the Texas State Capitol Ground Floor Rotunda in Austin, TX from November 4-14, 2011. Meet some of the artists at a reception on Veteran’s Day, Friday, November 11 from 12-1 at the Capitol.

Artwork will be on display by a dozen men and women who provided military service to our country and are now wounded warriors or veterans with disabilities. Some of their artwork addresses imagery from the service, while other pieces are beautiful sculptures, jewelry or drawings that reflect how they spend their time as civilians. A touring schedule will be released in December with expected stops in Irving, El Paso, San Antonio, and Houston as well as other communities and cities in the state. Celia Hughes, Executive Director for VSA Texas says, “In the past two years, VSA has worked with 35 Artist Veterans from Korea to OIF/OEF to showcase their talents; helping give voice and support to returning Wounded Warriors. We look forward to celebrating this exhibit at the Texas Capitol and then traveling it across the state where we can reach more veterans and their families.” For more information contact VSA Texas at 512-323-6626 or april@vsatx.org.
