The Springs Magazine, Artists’ Workshop Gallery, and La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant have partnered to present a special exhibit titled “Arts in Service: Honoring Our Veteran Artists.”

Many veterans find art to be a powerful tool for healing and self-expression, offering an opportunity to process their experiences, connect with other veterans through their creativity, and present their stories to the world. We are excited to provide a platform for these talented artists to showcase their work locally and share their voices with an appreciative audience.

The exhibit was open at Artists’ Workshop Gallery, 610A Central Avenue, Hot Springs, Arkansas, from November 3-27, 2023. The opening reception at Gallery Walk was a lovely evening that offered a great chance to meet the artists, see their work, and celebrate the service and creativity of our veterans.

Special thanks to our veteran artists for their service, and for sharing their work for the “Arts in Service: Honoring Veteran Artists” exhibit. 

We’d also like to thank the kind folks at Artists’ Workshop Gallery for hosting, sponsoring, organizing, and hanging the exhibit, La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant for its sponsorship, and veteran Manny Alvarez Valencia whose encouragement and artwork helped kick off the project from the very beginning. 

Thank you one and all!
