I recommend contacting the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum in Chicago, I know you are interested in more recent work, but they should be able to help you. http://www.nvvam.org/ _____ Andrea Kent Cakars Collections Manager Chester County Historical Society 225 N.

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 Curator of Education Salt Lake Art Center 20 South West Temple Salt Lake City, UT 84101 T 801-328-4201 x 21 F 801-322-4323 W www.slartcenter.org "I realized as I traveled across this nation that I encountered three types of people.
