Today, we honor and thank ALL Veterans for their courage, sacrifice, and service to our country. On behalf of the Saugerties Arts Commission, we are deeply grateful for the many veterans — and family members of veterans — who continue to enrich our community by sharing their creativity, stories, talents, and artistic spirit.

Art has a powerful way of building connection, healing, reflection, and joy. We were especially proud to see the Hudson Valley National Center for Veteran Reintegration launch their very first art show last year — a meaningful celebration of veteran voices and creative expression. We look forward to many more exhibitions and opportunities to support veteran artists once repairs are completed at the center.

While the physical building for the Hudson Valley National Center for Veteran Reintegration is temporarily closed due to severe water damage sustained this spring, their mission and support services remain active throughout the community. Programs, workshops, and veteran support efforts continue through temporary locations, including weekly Tuesday coffee hours hosted at the Saugerties American Legion Post 72.

We encourage our community to continue supporting this important organization and the veterans they serve during this rebuilding period.

Thank you to all who have served — and to those who continue serving our community through compassion, resilience, creativity, and connection. 🇺🇸🎨
