By supporting this project, you’re supporting a program that has been shown to inspire empathy in its viewers and the participating veterans and artists. An independent evaluator in 2020 found that 86% of visitors found the exhibition changed their thoughts about veterans. Veterans believed the art captured their experiences, and that they used the art to start conversations about their military experiences they wouldn’t have otherwise had. Artists felt proud to be part of the project, felt a personal connection to the veteran storytellers, and wanted above all to create art that represented, respected, and pleased them. Please check out the Kickstarter campaign, share wherever you can and support if you are able! Thank you
