Virginia has an art division and many of the artists of pieces in their
collections are veterans.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Know of veterans who are now professional artists?
Greetings Museum-Lers,
This is a shot in the dark, but I hope someone might be able to
point
me in the right direction, especially those folks who are veterans of
the US
military or working at a military museum.
I seek information about professional visual artists --
individually or
a list (which would be awesome, if it exists) -- who are veterans of the
United States military who were involved in conflicts and peace-keeping
missions including/since Persian Gulf I (1990 to present).
[By "professional visual artists," I mean those who earn income
from
art-making as a primary means of support (excluding any military
pension)
and/or who have participated in gallery/museum exhibitions.
And so you know where I've looked already . . . Veterans of Foreign
Wars, American Legion, VSA, G.I. Bill regulations (multiple variants),
and
will contact those who organize(d) the National Veterans Creative Arts
Festival.]
Thank you in advance for any advice and/or insights.
Best wishes, sincerely,
Jay Heuman

"I realized as I traveled across this nation
that I encountered three types of people.
People who make things happen;
people who watch things happen; and,
people who ask "what happened?"
