The Experience Veterans & Artists Collaboration Project

# data[].attributes.body
Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer/E-7 Brett Tremelling has been recognized on numerous occasions for his service to the community and the country. Brett Tremelling is currently assigned to the Joint Base Cape Cod in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, where he serves as a law enforcement instructor while maintaining membership with the National Chapter of the U.S. Coast Guard Chief Petty Officers Association, an organization currently assisting with a project to connect veterans and artists.

The Experience Veterans & Artists Collaboration (EVAC) Project developed by the Diane Kidd Gallery at Tiffin University in Ohio will document and preserve veterans’ stories. Professional artists will interpret the stories through works of art and each piece will be accompanied by an audio recording of a veteran recounting his or her personal story.

The memories of veterans, representing five wars, will then be displayed at the Diane Kidd Gallery, allowing civilians to see, hear, and feel the impact of each individual piece. Twenty artists will each create ten prints that will be donated to the EVAC Project. Three sets will be framed for the exhibit at Tiffin University and additional traveling shows, and the rest of the prints will be auctioned with all the money raised being donated to specific veteran organizations to be chosen by the participating veterans.
