Odyssey│Warriors Come Home


Witness the journey home from war. In photographs and cyanotype self-portraits, 75 veterans show us the profoundly and deeply personal impact of combat.


Join us for a special Veteran’s Day Artist Talk on Nov. 11 at 6pm.


Hear from Rochester photographers Chris Cilento and Michael Thaxton about their artistic process and their experience participating in The Odyssey Project.


GROW NOW & DREAM WITH US

The only true way for us to grow is to “emerge” as nature does – well-paced, communal, and organic. This requires acceptance of our beautiful and colorful differences as uniquely creative beings.

Your gifts allow tuition assistance for a student experiencing financial strain; studio space; the purchase of clay, ink, and darkroom supplies; an artist-in-residence spot; or publishing a book of black & white photography with poetry for our middle school students.
