The mission of the Patriot Art Foundation is to use visual arts to honor the veterans who have served our country, celebrate their return to civilian life, and assist them in the re-entry process.
The Patriot Art Foundation was started in 2019 as a means to honor and inspire veterans through art as well as to educate the public about patriotism and leadership. What began as a touring exhibition of paintings by Mary Whyte, soon turned into an initiative dedicated to giving veterans themselves a means of self-expression and creativity. The Patriot Art Foundation and its supporters are comprised of veterans, military leaders, business leaders, educators and artists. The Patriot Art Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
