Healing Journeys: How Art Serves Our Military is a multimedia exhibition that aims to promote the arts, improve mental well-being and encourage creative expression as an outlet for service members, veterans, military families, and military staff in the Greater Baltimore Region. The exhibition will showcase ceramic works created by service members and their families and papermaking using military uniforms by staff from the Warrior Clinic, a facility that treats wounded warriors at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda. The exhibition will also showcase artwork by former US Marine and ceramist Ehren Tool, from The Arts & The Military Collection, Culpeper, Virginia. In addition to organizing the exhibition, Emily Kohlenstein organized the ceramic and papermaking workshops led by artist Patrick Sargent and CAPT Moira McGuire, Assistant Chief, Integrated Health Services, to empower individuals through physical interaction, collaboration, and creative self-reflection to strive for mental peace, strengthen community bonds, and build personal confidence.
