This summer, we hosted the artwork of veterans from the Bastion Community of Resilience in The Gallery at Phelps. Through Bastion's Headway program, veterans use art therapy to heal from traumatic brain injuries, and their inspiring creations were on display in our New Orleans office lobby. This partnership not only showcases their incredible talent but also supports their journey of healing and resilience. During the gallery exhibit, we heard firsthand accounts from these veterans, who courageously shared how Bastion and this art program have changed their lives. Please join us in celebrating these brave individuals and the transformative power of art!
