Public Arts Programs and At Ease: Art and Nature for VeteransAt Ease in Nature Opening Reception
Join us to celebrate the healing power of nature and the arts. At Ease in Nature features artwork created during our 2025 At Ease programs, as well as work inspired by experiences in nature from members of the Military Community.
This year’s exhibition will highlight the diversity that can be found in nature and in the armed forces, making each stronger than they would be without it.
Started in 2015, Brushwood’s At Ease: Art and Nature for Veterans initiative offers programs for Veterans, Service Members, and their families designed to empower wellbeing through nature-based art, music, and photography workshops. At Ease helps build skills in creative expression and provides Veterans with access to mental health support.
This exhibition will open with a reception and panel discussion on November 9, at 1 pm.
