VIV is working in a partnership with Northern Michigan for Veterans, Inc, (Non-Profit). A small group of combat veterans came together in February 2019, in Traverse City, with a mission to empower and support veterans.
We will create projects, arrange events, or simply help a veteran who needs a hand. We take no money, and 100% of what we do, say, and earn will go towards the veterans we serve. We are giving back to the community, by supporting those who have sacrificed so very much for our country.

It's hard to believe it has been two years since this post and our last art show. So much has happened since then but we are making progress toward having another show. Please stay tuned as we deal with Covid during the planning stages and be assured that everyone's safety is always on our minds.
I'm sorry for the lack of posts lately. There have been some serious health issues in my family that I have had to deal with. I can assure you that the planning and work is still going on and another art show will be in the future.
Here is something a little different and you can tell me if you like it as much as I do. Dan Doherty is a photojournalist with the U.S. Airforce and I am going to share some of his work. He has assured me that all of his photos are public domain and I can feel free to use them. He takes pictures and through photo editing makes them look like an artist rendition.
We are in the planning stages now and we are starting to talk about a date and place for the next VIV art show. It will take time because there is an unbelievable amount of planning that goes into this but YES we are headed toward another art show. Enjoy your holiday and remember those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.
We feel that we may be heading into the home stretch as far as getting a handle on the Covid virus. Planning for the next art show has to start so far in advance that we feel it is necessary to grab a little bit of optimism and run with it. We invite you to think back on our last art show and not only how much fun it was but what it enabled us to do for our veterans in northern Michigan. Here are some pictures to help you remember the incredible art as well as the tribute to our veterans.
