A sampling of some duty stations ball caps while I was honored to wear the uniform of the United States Navy (not all of the duty stations... by a long shot... but a "sampling" - missing are NTC Orlando, NTC San Diego, NTC Great Lakes, NTTC Corry Station, NSGD Rota, NSGA Imperial Beach, USS Fresno, USS LaSalle, USS Coronado, USS Virginia, NSGA Edzell, NPS Monterey, COMSPAWARSYCOM, and who knows how many others I've forgotten....

Happy Independence Day my fellow Americans! 

Whatever your political views are... always remember that what makes us different is that we are the mongrels that created the greatest experiment and then the greatest nation in the history of this planet!

Disagree with your neighbors if you have to... but always listen to them... and then shake hands and have them over for a BBQ.

“I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy." - John F. Kennedy

Hours:  Wed - Sun 1 - 7 pm, except Fridays 3 - 9 pm
 
    Juror Jack Rasmussen will speak at the opening and moderate the artists' talk.
 
  
    Guest artists Ric Garcia and Fierce Sonia populate their images with iconic superheros, princesses, damsels in distress and empowered queens, all portrayed in contemporary and re-imagined ways.  Their collective vision explores new narratives about struggle, power, and heroism.  Who has been the hero in traditional stories, comic books and fairy tales?  And how do changing roles affect these stories?

    Says Fierce Sonia, "I often work on many pieces at once, obsessively re-telling the story much like a folk tale is folded over the mouth many times.  The images remain decidedly feminine.  I am most interested in universal and unifying narratives found in fairy tales, mythology, advertisement, and religion."

     Ric Garcia sees his appropriation of images as a meditation on identity.  "I infuse my art with references to various mythos, focusing on hero worship, literary works, Latino and gender cultures, creating images about Americana filtered by my bi-cultural experience," Garcia says.
 
     Jack Rasmussen is Director and Curator of the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center.
