A Revolution of Values is one of the four featured exhibitions of the 2026 Veteran Art Triennial, Resisting the Long War curated by Aaron Hughes, Mohamed Mehdi, and Amber Zora. The Triennial highlights artists’ creative defiance to war and militarism. The featured artworks lift up overlapping legacies of war resistance, presenting alternative visions of peace, healing, and justice generated by diverse communities impacted by war.
For the fourth year, the Kansas City Public Library, Mid-Continent Public Library, Missouri Humanities, and the Missouri Center for the Book are proud to foster the joy of reading at the Heartland Book Festival.
In our grand and welcoming gathering spaces, adults and kids celebrate the joy of curiosity and the courage to engage in inclusive, civil dialogue. All day long, connect with neighbors during workshops, listen to panel discussions, enjoy author talks and signings, make a craft, and step outside to try a local food truck.
From November 5th through 8th, in the days leading up to Veterans Day, the Veteran Art Summit will bring together featured artists for free public programs that deepen our understanding of war resistance while emphasizing relationship building and community care. The Summit will include a series of keynote performances at each hosting institution—Chicago Cultural Center, Elmhurst Art Museum, Hyde Park Art Center, Walls Turned Sideways—along with poetry readings, panel discussions, gallery tours, artmaking and movement workshops, and so much more.
