“Back in the World” Exhibit

The “Back in the World – Veterans Expressive Art About Life After Coming Home” Exhibit is on display in the new Gallery Space.

The “Back in the World” exhibit showcases the artwork and poetry of Veterans Bruce Canny, Harry Stritter, David Dvorachek, Jim Fox, Doug Olson, P.J. Bertz, Lenny Ellis and Pete Kern. As a fitting accompaniment, the “My War” exhibit of personal photographs taken while serving in the Vietnam War is also on display. This special exhibit was created by June Abrahamson, former museum curator at The Highground, and Professional Photography Curator Marissa Roth.

To achieve the interactive visitor experience of this exhibit, we are fortunate to have had the dedication and expertise of long-time volunteers, Barb Shain and Walt Wesenberg, in the construction of the interior display and for the refinishing work completed on several antique display cases which were donated to the Museum. A heartfelt thank you to Larry Luzinski for the donated doors used in the display, bringing this exhibit to life. Donors who helped fund the museum exhibits are Virginia Stubblefield and Marcia & Lindy Kendall.
