At the back of the Calaveras Art Council's Gallery is a staircase reminiscent of the staircase in Norman Rockwell's The Homecoming G.I. Beginning the firstSunday of April (April 2) the staircase at the gallery will be decorated and models in period uniforms and costumes. The models will create a scenes saluting our veterans. Music of each period will add to the mood.
Each successive first Sunday--April 2, May 7, June 4, July 2, and August 6--will feature a different war, starting with World War I up to the current conflicts. All artists, writers, and musicians are invited and encouraged to create work based on the models and decorations.
