Fine Arts goes to New York City

Two alumni and a current cadet in the Fine Arts program  earned their place in a prestigious art exhibition in New York City over the summer. Cadet Michaela Martin, ’26, Catherine Rodriguez, ’24, and Tucker Young, ’24, were accepted into the juried exhibition Journeys Onward: Military Veterans’ Experiences at the Salmagundi Club of New York.

Journeys Onward is an annual exhibit that showcases the artwork of 36 military veterans or their family members, shedding light on their unique experiences at the intersection of art and the military. The exhibit is curated by Omar Columbus, a U.S. Air Force veteran and photographer, and Paul M. Murray, an award-winning photographer and son of two WWII veterans. In addition to their support of military veterans, the Salmagundi Club also sponsors the Coast Guard Art Program, a group of 250 professional artists who volunteer their talents to record the history of the Coast Guard.
