Unique event with Music, Visual Art, Poetry
Path with Art’s Veterans Exhibition celebrates three years of the Path with Art veterans program—which grew out of Seattle Opera’s collaboration for the 2019 opera The Falling and the Rising—and will feature a performance by the Seattle Opera-Path with Art Veterans Choir. Artworks made as part of Veterans Cohort classes will be on display throughout the Opera Center, including a quilt symbolizing the connection between veterans and civilians, a sound installation, poetry readings, and more.
For Ghaddra González Castillo, Path with Art’s community arts liaison, the connections formed through the Veterans Choir were immediate: “When we started, everybody was very excited about performing and having a safe space with a program that was tailored just for the veteran community. When you see these veterans, they maybe have never met, but when they’re in the same room, they’re immediately brothers and sisters, sharing the same experience. It doesn’t matter where they’re from—that camaraderie really is like a family.”
Path with Art’s Veterans Exhibition Saturday, June 25 at 5:00 PM Seattle Opera Center 363 Mercer St Seattle, WA 98109. This exhibition is a paternship between Seattle Opera and Path with Art Free.
