The Graffiti of War Project
National Art Exhibit
Experience...The Emotions of War...
As many of our loyal and supportive fans know, we have been chugging right along with the development of the Graffiti of War Project. Since the idea sprang to life from nothing in the spring of 2010 to our recent summer expedition to Kuwait and Iraq, we have made some enormous leaps forward in our quest to promote what we have coined, Conflict Art. Recently, we have encountered what we believe is the next step in the evolution of this historically significant endeavor, the multi-cultural art exhibit.

...Like Never Before.Since before the expedition, we began to receive inquiries from art galleries all across the U.S. asking whether we had considered showcasing this amazing art in an art show. We kicked it around a bit, but it seemed a bit out of our scope at the time and much of our concern was directed towards the success of the expedition. However, once we returned from documenting thousands of artistic creations, the gallery tour
started to make sense. |
Your Experiences - Your Perspective - Your Art
The exhibit features some of the images we have collected through our website, Facebook page and during our June expedition. In addition to the Conflict Art Exhibit, we want to showcase military artists, active and veterans, military family members and local nationals from Iraq and Afghanistan. We want to exhibit all types of art, from painting and drawing to poetry and music. The goal is to raise awareness for the development of alternative solutions to the invisible wounds of war, such as art therapy. We have from the beginning wanted to use this art as a bridge over the widening cultural gap between those who have experienced the horrors of conflict, on both sides, and those who haven’t, to bring empathy and understanding and eventually healing to shattered communities across the world. We feel this exhibition is a great way to begin this mission, one community at a time.
