The Patriotic Art & Award Exhibit : Prospectus & Information
With the Fourth of July just around the corner, the EPAA is happy to be hosting its annual patriotic exhibit to celebrate veterans, soldiers and the USA through ART!
This year’s exhibit is extra special as we honor retired Lt. Col. Robert “Bob” Chisolm for his lifelong military service. Lt. Col. Chislom has a distinguished history of military service in the U.S. Army that includes fighting in WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Bob’s bravery and courage served him well as he was injured in all three wars but continued to serve his country receiving numerous medals and recognition.

A special thank you Richard Doyle and the Chisolm Family for entrusting the EPAA with many of Bob’s awards, plaques and keepsakes to display at the Crossland Gallery for this very special patriotic exhibit.
Another special element of the exhibit will be an art collaboration with kids and soldiers from Fort Bliss. Creating art is a wonderful and engaging activity for all ages and it will be an honor to display art from Fort Bliss soldiers and their families at the Crossland Gallery.
A special thank you to Robin Fox making this collaboration possible.

We hope artists of the El Paso community and Fort Bliss will enter the exhibit to celebrate the USA through ART!
