Special Collaborative Event with Wounded Warrior Project

Some things don't have words. Art can hold what language can't.

This month, we're bringing that idea into the gallery. Join NCAG and Wounded Warrior Project at Oak Park Art League’s Gallery After Dark for an evening inside Breaking the Silence, the exhibition of veteran-made work on view through September 6. Instead of walking past the pieces, you'll sit with them. Sketch what you see. Talk about what you notice. No experience required, no art background necessary, just a willingness to look closely.

A special thank you to Wounded Warrior Project for partnering with us on tonight's event. Two organizations, one shared commitment: standing with veterans and service members, however that looks, on canvas or off.
