Boots on the Ground for Art

Synopsis
This film reflects the joy and honor of teaching Veterans representing all branches of the Military; and one sees that their talent is enormous.
Military Veterans at The Oregon School of Arts under instructor Randall Vemer created several paintings on the theme ‘BOOTS ON THE GROUND FOR ART’. They were exhibited along with the film at 4 Veterans Administration venues in Portland Oregon May 2024.
Boots refer to the military but are not a direct reference. ‘Boots on the Ground for Art’ honors both Veterans’ military service and their belief in the power of Art. The paintings were personal military reference or not. The theme is also a metaphor for beginning any new endeavor in life.
