Ongoing Exhibition at Honfleur Gallery (through December 16)
Through the use of visual and performing arts, Uniting US Veteran and family member artists share works reflecting personal experiences while honoring art’s therapeutic benefits in finding comfort and peace through creativity and community support.  And while “War” is generally a word used to describe military conflict, “war-type” struggles with depression, trauma, discrimination, and other challenges are not just limited to the military community.  15 courageous artists and 20 musical performers offer insights and opportunity to discuss the expansive nature of war and the hope shared through the humanity of the arts and harmonious community engagement.  At 6:30 p.m., the vibrant and talented DCVA 20-person Choir and Band will close out the evening in the Anacostia Arts Center Black Box theatre.

In citing the value of therapeutic arts activities for healing and community building, Uniting US Executive Director AnnMarie Halterman praises Arch Development and Honfleur Gallery for providing access to the arts and building meaningful community programming. “We are grateful for the support throughout the year to transforms mere stop-and-go public transaction locations into an intentionally welcoming and interactive community home-base family destination.”
