Attention Veteran Owned Business Members and Visitors:

On Sunday, November 13th at 5:00pm, Union Station of Kansas City and Veteran Directed Community Services (VDCS) will host the Inaugural Veterans Art and Poetry Gala – an event to encourage veterans to “show their stuff” in an “art-show” style setting. VDCS is a local non-profit organization planning and executing this event, which is a culmination of their developing Art program. This one-of-a-kind function will highlight and feature many forms of veterans’ artistic expression.

“Hosting events like this allows us to show veterans our appreciation for their service to our country,” commented the organization’s founder, Moses Artis. “This event will provide a platform to allow veteran-artists the opportunity to showcase their remarkable talents. Having Union Station join us in facilitating this gala really emphasizes our shared commitment to helping veterans in our community.”

This function is also geared towards bringing public awareness to the therapeutic benefits of art. This is NOT a “formal” event, as the dress for the evening will be business casual. There will be free give-aways and door prizes, and all donations will be accepted to fund continued homeless outreach efforts in the community and to develop their art program.

Display space is FREE for veterans and their dependents. Other local artists and poets may also participate for a $25 donation.
