Then & Now
50 YEARS OF VETERAN EXPERIENCES
July 2 - Aug 22, 2021
Hosted by St. Augustine Art Association. Demonstrated the potential healing power of creative expression in a display of artist endeavors. Working through the trauma and grief these artists have incurred through their military service. The exhibit gave a special “shout out” to former POW, Army Major Theodore Gostas (RET), former POW 5+ years, of which 4.5 years were spent in solitary confinement in a footprint of approximately 5’x8′. A special installation was created in a gallery room with a museum quality replica of his cell surrounded by appropriate memorabilia, artifact and artworks in honor of his bravery and heroics in a most hostile and cruel environment.
