ARTillery is a rotating exhibition series featuring artwork by local U.S. military service members, or by local artists who create artwork with a military theme. This program was designed to provide an artistic space for veterans and active service members to express themselves as well as to feature and foster appreciation for the U.S. military.

Memorial Ceiling Tiles by Lori Mellinger

For four years, local veteran Lori Mellinger has painted the ceiling tiles of the American Legion’s building in Northglenn, CO commemorating the service and sacrifice of military veterans. Each ceiling tile is personalized through imagery that reflects their service as well as their personal interests. Lori Mellinger writes that “doing research for these pieces has been like a history class for me. I have learned a great deal about my fellow veterans and their family members.”

The painted tiles have temporarily been brought to the Broomfield Veterans Museum for display. The exhibit will run from September 11, 2021 – January 30, 2022.
