The Citadel Fine Arts launches this traveling exhibition of art on loan from the collection of the National Museum of the Marine Corps representing the history of aviation in celebration of the 250th birthday of the Marine Corps. Portraying the partnership of Marine Corps aviators and Marines on the ground, the show is divided into four themes: the origins of Marine Corps aviation, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, and today’s global force in readiness. Artists include Charles Waterhouse, Howard Chandler Christy, Mike Gish, Kris Battles, and Elize McKelvey.
Free cadet-led tours are available for groups of up to 25 guests by appointment during gallery hours of Monday-Friday, 10 am – 3 pm.
