The community day event honors all military veterans by welcoming the entire community to enjoy free admission all day with access to its Special Exhibition, American Myth & Memory: David Levinthal Photographs and its Focus Exhibition, Joe Fig: Other Artists along with its extensive collection of American, Asian and European fine and decorative art.
DAI, also a Blue Star Museum, is among more than 2,000 museums across the country, through a collaboration with the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, and the Department of Defense, that offers free access to the museum throughout the summer for military families.
“DAI has a tradition of serving and giving back to military personnel and their families, said Director and CEO Michael Roediger. “As a Blue Star Museum, military families visiting DAI have created memories through shared experiences with our art, cultural activities and events. I’m proud to offer another opportunity for our staff and volunteers to serve our veterans and the entire community,” said Roediger.

DAI’s last community day was celebrated during Pride month. Over 900 visitors came through the museum to enjoy art and cultural activities. Roediger added, “Community Days are a great way for people to see and experience all that we offer to everyone. It’s exciting when we see guests come back to enjoy the diversity of our art collection.”
In addition to touring the DAI’S collection and Special and Focus Exhibitions, Veterans Community Day guests can view a curated list of artworks by artists that were in the military or painted depictions of conflict in history.
Veterans Community Day features a performance by Matt Dierking on DAI’s historic 1929 E.M. Skinner Pipe organ with patriotic songs, including: The Star-Spangled Banner – Francis Scott Key, Yankee Doodle by George M. Cohan, and many more!
