A veteran returning from war can experience a multitude of challenges. War Comes Home offers a look into the thoughts and emotions of veterans and their families upon their homecoming. The exhibit tells their stories through private correspondence from nearly every major military conflict in U.S. history, including photos by local author and photographer Steve Burchik. These intimate perspectives reveal how war can deeply affect lives, loved ones, and communities. For museum hours and more information, call or visit the museum website.

AC5 is excited to be working with veterans in Contra Costa County and offering a series of FREE self-portrait painting classes as a way of saying "Thank you for your service." An in-depth acrylic painting class. You will be asked to explore your experience as a veteran and tell your story of transitioning from military life through a self-portrait or other subject as an avenue of self-expression. Artist John Kleber or Artist Victoria Bianco and artist/Veteran Wesley Evans will lead you through a series of painting exercises over two days that will result in a finished 18” x 20” painting.
