Florida Museum of Photographic Arts is creating an exhibition of photographs by veterans to showcase their unique perspective on returning to civilian life after many years in the Armed Forces. For some of these veterans this photographic project and exhibit will serve as a healing process in part for severe PTSD and combat-related injuries. The exhibition supports the NEA Big Read project and the anniversary of the book The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien; It will be displayed at the SouthShore Public Library in Ruskin during the month of March 2020.

This event is funded by the Friends of the SouthShore Regional Library. 

NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.
