SUMMARY:Guided Tour: Blue Star Welcome Week for Service Members\, Veterans\, and Military Families
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Blue Star Welcome Week\, the Art Center is offering a free guided tour titled “Sailor\, Soldier\, Airman\, Artist.” Join us for this themed tour that asks the question\, “How did the military experience influence mid-century modern artists?” with artist features such as Ellsworth Kelly (WWII)\, Sam Francis (WWII)\, or b. Robert Moore (son of a Vietnam veteran). \nThe Des Moines Art Center is a Blue Star Museum\, offering free admission every day to everyone. Hosting this guided tour during Blue Star Welcome Week\, seeks to build support for the 600\,000 military families who move to new communities each year. We invite all military personnel and family members to attend\, whether new to the Des Moines community or not\, to enjoy an afternoon at the Art Center. \nPublic guided tours are offered every Saturday from 1 – 2 pm. Free; no registration required. \nb.
