The traveling exhibit Marking Time: Voyage to Vietnam will be on display in Carnegie Hall's Museum Gallery from May 1 - June 28, 2014 with an opening reception on May 8th from 5-8PM. The reception is free and open to the general public.
Marking Time and other complementary events will be co-hosted by the Greenbrier Historical Society (GHS) & Carnegie Hall. Carnegie Hall will host the canvas artwork and GHS will create an exhibit discussing the Vietnam Era and the war’s impact locally. Other events include lectures, films, and music from this era of social unrest.
Marking Time: Voyage to Vietnamhas never before been on display in West Virginia. The exhibit represents the stories of young American soldiers going to Vietnam during the 1960s. The graffiti, left on the bunk canvases of the troopship General Nelson M. Walker, reflect the attitudes and events of a turbulent decade of our nation's history.
The exhibit was developed by Art & Lee Beltrone of Keswick, Virginia and blends art and history in a unique way. Exploring the makings of Marking Time, Mr. Beltrone will be the guest speaker for Carnegie Hall's May 20, 2014 "Brown Bag Tuesdays", part of Carnegie Hall's free lunchtime programming. The program will be held in Carnegie's Hamilton Auditorium at noon.
