This painting has been donated by the artist to the Coast Guard Art
Program (COGAP) Collection 2011. The image is of the USCG mission of
humanitarian relief to aid the victims of the Haitian earthquake in
January, 2010. COGAP Collection 2011 will have its inaugural exhibition at
Salmagundi Club, 47 Fifth Avenue, NYC, July 3 to 15, 2011. Free and open
to the public daily, 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. Coast Guard artists are volunteer,
professional artists who donate their time and talents to immortalize the
brave men and women of the USCG through their art. Today, the collection
comprises nearly 1,800 works which recount the Coast Guard's history from
the early beginnings of our nation to the present day. Artists have also
captured the daily missions the 42,400 men and women on active duty in the
Coast Guard perform, including homeland security, search and rescue,
marine environmental protection, and drug interdiction. |
