Michael Greenberg, the finance chair of Patriot Art Foundation, will speak at a session on the final day of next week’s Installation Innovation Forum in San Antonio.

The session, “The Power of Art and Performing Art to Lift Veterans and Military Families” will discuss how “the arts provide opportunities for veterans and military families to express themselves, find purpose and joy, and develop stronger ties in their communities,” according to the event agenda.
