Vet Art Project Incubator at Chicago Cultural Center--BY THE NUMBERS

As we take time to assess the amazing community we gathered in the Studio Theater for programs and the Preston Bradley Hall performance of New Art About War last Monday, I want to share some figures with you:

30       Number of Veteran Participants

>60    Number of Artist Participants

>240   Number of People Who Attended Community Building Workshops & Creative Arts Programming as part of the Vet Art Project (in the first two weeks & final day of programming)

230    Number of People Who Attended the New Art About War Performance on 02.23.09

We also are receiving many grateful e-mails from audience members. I'll post these soon.

This was a great experience for everyone. Not only was is uplifting for me as a student, but for those who have a special someone who was a Veteran or who is a Veteran. This was an opportunity for people to get closure and to show that there are people who care about them every where. This helped me realize the importance of remembering those who fought for our country and appreciating the art behind it all. --DePaul Student
