Dear Colleague,

The City of Brea Art Gallery is producing an exhibition entitled “Home From the Front” featuring artwork from veterans of recent combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are hoping we can work with you to reach out to the veteran community.
“Home From the Front” is conceived without any political intent or editorial comments regarding the military, the war, or veteran’s affaires in general. The voices, opinions, and viewpoints will be those of the participating artists alone. Further, subject matter need not include reference to military duty, politics, the war, etc. This is an opportunity for the artists to express themselves in a forum that will interact with the general public.
