New Orleans VPP will be on hiatus until Fall 2012 when we have a viable partner organization in the greater New Orleans area. Have a wonderful summer, and please revisit our work in September.
Edwards will be beginning a new workshop series specifically with female veterans in the Greater New Orleans area beginning this Spring. Working in conjunction with a Department of Veteran Affairs liason, Edwards will be conducting classes at the Parse Gallery, bringing veteran students into a arts-oriented environment for their class series.
Continuing to work with the Doe Fund’s veteran liasion Tom Popowich, Photographer Tiffany Smith has taken the reigns in Brooklyn and is conducting workshops with VPP, while Aubrey simultaneously conducts workshops in New Orleans.
For the holiday season, participants in both branches of the project set up a portrait studio in the shelter and gifted family and individual portraits to staff and fellow Veterans.
VPP wishes a beautiful New Year to our Veterans, thank you for your service.
