This May, Gallery Underground and Arlington Artists Alliance present “Together We Rise: United”, a group show featuring military veteran and family member artists from nonprofit group Uniting US. This will be a celebration of the benefits of individual choice, freedom of speech, and the right to vote with a universal allegiance to our nation. Upholding the nation’s freedoms and ideals, we rise together, gaining wellness and strength through unity and through art. Join 14 Uniting US artists at Gallery Underground to experience veterans” allegiance to our nation discovered through service, loss, and life after military service. Help us memorialize those who have lost their lives in the service and unite to uphold our Nation’s freedoms and ideals. Special thanks to the Hilton in National Landing for providing hotel rooms to Uniting US artists.
The opening reception takes place on Friday, May 3, 2024, from 5-8pm. The reception will include talks by Uniting US artist Luis Rosa-Valentine, Lisa Simms Booth, the Executive Director of the Smith Center for Healing and the Arts, as well as the unveiling of an original collaborative artwork by three US sculptors: AnnMarie Halterman, John Sonnier, and Michael Wheeler.
