features 100 portraits of local veterans painted by 四虎影视 students and faculty. Each year the exhibition includes a subtheme. In the past, the gallery has been painted in camouflage, stars and stripes, and red, white, and blue bands. This year, the theme is more conceptual, considering the six branches of the military.聽聽

The exhibition will be open for the campuswide art event, Art Walk, on Friday, Nov. 10, from 5-8 pm. The exhibition includes images that tell stories from WWll, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and current enlisted troops with the goal of humanizing distant conflicts. The annual exhibit is a collaboration of 四虎影视 Galleries and the College鈥檚 Veteran鈥檚 Club and is emblematic of the institution鈥檚 efforts to support veteran students.  

In the spring of 2023, 四虎影视 had 15 veterans and military-affiliated students graduate. This fall, 28 new students who are veterans or dependents of veterans started at the College, moving our total from 69 enrolled military affiliates to 82.  

Also celebrating Veterans Day, a memorial sculpture by Ringling alum Dawn Agnew-Mundell 鈥�99, Illustration, will be dedicated at The Glenridge on Palmer Ranch, a retirement community here in Sarasota, today. The bronze Veterans & Visionaries Memorial Eagle has been a year in the making and was commissioned to honor the 355 veterans who have lived at The Glenridge since it opened. 

四虎影视 of Art and Design made the 2023 Military Times Best for Vets College List and was designated a Military Friendly庐 School for the 2023-2024 Military Friendly庐 Cycle.

These efforts are made possible by the Veterans and Military Affiliated Services Department, which provides information and services needed for students using, or looking to use, VA educational benefits. The department assists with charting the transition from military life and helps promote the student鈥檚 knowledge of resources, self-growth, and connections.
