“A Soldier’s Voice” Extended Through Monday

Jon Meadows - Pulling Her Weight

Good news! The exhibit by Army Staff Sgt. Jon Meadows has been extended through Monday, July 27. There’s been a great response to this exhibit so far. Please stop by to see Jon’s story in clay, paint, and paper!

Jon suffered a frontal-lobe traumatic brain injury in Afghanistan in January 2013, which affected his vision, cognition, and fine motor skills. Shortly after returning home in 2013, Jon began his journey in art through The Art League’s IMPart program, with no prior art experience. Jon’s doctors, fellow veterans, and his artist instructors were immediately amazed by his masterful and emotive sculptures. His work has since expanded from his clay sculptures to also include paintings, drawings, and poetry.

“Jon Meadows: A Soldier’s Voice” is in Studio 12 of the Torpedo Factory. Click here for more information about the exhibit.
