Bring Them Home!
     Bring them home!

July 2011 is set as the date to withdraw troops from the war in
Afghanistan. This is not the first time a date has been set and will not
be the last...

Regardless of what each of us may think of this or any war - there are
many problems in our own nation that could be solved or at least
improved by bring our troops home - failing infrastructure, slumping
economy, families divided due to deployment - to name a few. Not to
mention the lives lost and billions of dollars spent with little result.
What if we spent that money here? Wouldn't we be better to help other
nations - who want our help - if we took care of ourselves first?

Send us your artwork related to or created around this theme. Keep an
open mind. If our troops came home now: What would be the impact -
on us - on the rest of the world? How might families - military and
civilian - be better off? Could our nation - and the nations we are
fighting in - be made whole and how?

This show is open to all artists working in any media. Check out the
details of this exhibition and send us your work.
