About

The Joel Fund’s Operation ART Spring Student Showcase will feature a gallery of artwork by our military-connected Operation ART Students. This year, we are excited to partner with a few local organizations to celebrate our Operation ART Community. The showcase will be hosted at Broadsides and Brews in downtown Wake Forest and feature a rum tasting from Outer Banks Distilling. Throughout the weeklong event, there will be a live reading, a performance opportunity, a chance to participate in a collaborative art project, and a raffle featuring items from TJF and Outer Banks Distilling. Please stop by throughout the week to view the artwork and participate in any number of these activities.
