"Annie Reid announces her conclusion of a year long residency project titled 'When My Father Returned From War'. In the ten drawings with accompanying stories, the artist, who grew up with a father significantly damaged by his experience of war, truthfully presents her experiences from the innocent perspective of a child. The juxtaposition of this innocence with the ghastly stories they relate give the show a quiet power."
— Katherine Almy, HUMBOLDT ART WALKS

The 'When My Father Returned From War' art exhibit will be displayed at Humboldt Carpet Showroom throughout the month of November. It was originally planned to be held at the Westhaven Center for the Arts, but had to be moved at the last minute.

on November 1st from 6 to 9 pm, as well as a reception on Veteran's Day,
November 11th, 1-4 pm honoring all who have been touched by war. All are invited.
