DESCRIPTION:Hundreds of handcrafted ceramic cups will be distributed to veterans and 
 community members during the free Community Day and Containers of Community 
 Closing Celebration on September 7, noon-4 p.m., at the Palo Alto Art 
 Center, 1313 Newell Road, Palo Alto.\n\nAll of the wheel-thrown ceramic 
 cups were created onsite by veteran and Berkeley-based artist Ehren Tool 
 during his June residency.  The cups have been presented in the Glass 
 Gallery of the Art Center, along with a selection of monotypes, to honor 
 the community of veterans and highlight their shared experience. Prior to 
 the residency, the Palo Alto Art Center collected images and artifacts from 
 community members, relating to their own service or that of their friends 
 and family.\n\nEhren creates ceramic objects that promote awareness and 
 dialogue about the consequences of war.  All of his cups are wheel-thrown 
 and feature decal-produced and embossed images and symbols related to war, 
 violence, and the veteran experience in cross-generational conflicts.  
 Since 2001, he has given away most of these cups, offering more than 14,500 
 to members of various communities.\n\nA Veteran Artist Panel will also be 
 held on Sept. 7, from 3-4 p.m., in the meeting room of the Art Center.  
 During this discussion, Ehren and other veteran artists will discuss the 
 importance of art in their lives, and how art serves as a critical form of 
 self-expression for the greater community.\n\nCombat Paper Exhibition, will 
 also be on view at the Art Center August 27-September 28.  During this 
 exhibition, people will be able to view mixed-media works by San Francisco 
 artist collaborative Combat Paper. Working in communities affected by 
 warfare, Combat Paper leads hand papermaking workshops for veterans and 
 uses papermaking processes to transform uniforms and artifacts into art.  A 
 two-day hand papermaking workshop for veterans and non-veterans will be 
 held at the Art Center on September 6, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., and on September 7, 
 noon-3 p.m.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/08/20/18760357.php
