Fatigues Clothesline & National Veterans Art Museum Invitation to attend
 
The National Veterans Art Museum would like to invite you and your family members to attend a workshop Nov. 9th from 5-9PM led by the Fatigues Clothesline Founder, Regina Vasquez. This project aims to help women and men move past Military Sexual Trauma (MST) by telling their story in a discreet manner that will educate the public.
 
Participants are asked to Write, Draw, Paint on an inside-out uniform shirt or jacket for example: BDUs, ACUs, digitals, cammies, PT T-shirts, or a uniform that represents the Air Force, Navy, Army, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. This is a program that is developed to create a dialog between the survivor and their group leader, counselor as well as with their family members. Through the work of art, it gives the survivor the power to express themselves freely whether it be through drawing, writing and or painting.
 
If the participant wishes the fatigues from the workshop will be displayed at the National Veterans Art Museum's exhibition Radical Vulnerability. The opening reception is Veterans Day, November 11th 5PM - 8PM.
 
Workshops for men and women will be held in separate rooms.
 
Please fill out the registration form if you are interested in coming. Also, please forward this invitation to any of your sisters and brothers in arms that may be interested in attending this workshop. Click here to register.

Register today and help spread the word (email/facebook) about this extremely important workshop.
 
Please share this with your communities and fellow service members.
