Ohio College Hosts Art by Service Members 

The Robert and Elaine Stein Galleries at Wright State University, Ohio will begin hosting art from active-duty service members at the nearby Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Starting in late August through the middle of September, the gallery will host the “Active Duty Artists” exhibit, accepting submissions until July 15. 

“‘Active Duty Artists’ is an opportunity to showcase the creativity and talent of the men and women serving at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,” Wright State University Professor of Art Glen Cebulash told Wright State Newsroom. “We hope the exhibition strengthens the connection between Wright State and the military community while creating a new tradition that celebrates the artistic contributions of those who serve.”
