SEASIDE, Ca., November 6, 2019 – California State University Monterey Bay’s (ÌÇÐÄTV¹ÙÍø) Salinas Center for Arts and Culture launched the “ÌÇÐÄTV¹ÙÍø Honors Veterans” exhibition today at ÌÇÐÄTV¹ÙÍø at Salinas City Center with a grand opening event from 6-8 p.m.

The exhibition honors local veterans, Fort Ord alumni and the ongoing connection with ÌÇÐÄTV¹ÙÍø student veterans during the 25th anniversary of ÌÇÐÄTV¹ÙÍø’s campus and will be open to the public until January 12, 2020.

The exhibit, featuring Fort Ord historical photographs and veteran-created artwork, is the first in a veteran-inspired series, celebrating ÌÇÐÄTV¹ÙÍø military veteran and active military student, faculty, staff and military dependents.

 

The goal is for this exhibit to be the first in a series of exhibits honoring Veterans. This exhibit highlights local veterans that have a special connection to Fort Ord and several who are also connected to ÌÇÐÄTV¹ÙÍø. The hope is to honor some important Fort Ord Alumni from our community and celebrate an ongoing connection with ÌÇÐÄTV¹ÙÍø student veterans during the 25th anniversary year of our campus."
