Thanks to a generous award from The Friends of Rogers Free Library, the Museum announces "Bristol Art Museum Salutes Veterans," an exhibit in the community galleries of the Library that honors local Veterans through a public exhibition of their work.

The artwork was created during workshops funded by the grant at the Rhode Island Veterans Home. The Museum offered a series of art workshops for Veterans such as acrylic painting and cellphone photography. 

“Through this Rogers Free Library grant, the Bristol Art Museum shared with Veterans residing in the Rhode Island Veterans Home the therapeutic and thought-provoking impact of the arts,” said Lynn Moran Sullivan, Museum Board member. “This project underscores the museum's and the library's commitment to inclusivity and diversity. By bringing art into the lives of Veterans, the initiative has enhanced their quality of life and integrated their experiences into the broader community narrative. The exhibition will serve as a platform for Veterans to share their stories, enriching the cultural fabric of Bristol.”
