Artists across the United States and Europe have donated art of all types for a show like no other.  Art For Afghanistan is working with Operation Home Front, a non-profit organization for the families of fallen, injured, and deployed service members of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom, to bring you the creations of artists that believe in the same thing:  That like WAR, ART can greatly affect people’s lives.  Two friends, while on separate sides of the world, came together under that concept to begin this project. 

The first show was presented at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan on Jan. 21st and it gave the troops stationed there the opportunity to step aside from their daily realities and lose themselves in the creations of others.  Since the show, all of the work is being shipped back to the US for tandem shows/auctions in NYC & Los Angeles.

The 69th Infantry Regiment Armory at Lexington Ave & 25th Street, Where European Artists Matisse, Picasso, Van Gogh, and Gauguin made their US Introduction in 1913:

Abstraction was introduced to the United States in 1913 by an exhibition so extraordinary — in the truest sense of the word — that it produced continuing waves of change throughout the arts and, indeed, the general culture of the United States for the remainder of the twentieth Century. It is difficult to overstate the public outrage or the electrifying effect on American artists generated by the International Exhibition of Modern Art — most widely known as The Armory Show for its original New York venue, the 69th Infantry Regiment Armory at Lexington Ave. and 25th Street — during its four-month, three-city tour of the United States.
