The Citadel Fine Arts Program is pleased to announce the opening of a temporary exhibit on loan from the National Museum of the Marine Corps. Sponsored by the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, the traveling art exhibition The U.S. Marine Corps Air-Ground Team will be on display from January 8 to June 2, 2025 in the Moore Art Gallery in Capers Hall. The show includes 30 works by 21 artists, portraying the partnership of Marine Corps aviators and Marines on the ground. The list of artists includes Howard Chandler Christy, Mike Gish, Henry Casselli, Donna Neary, and Charles Waterhouse. Many of the artists wore the Marine Corps uniform. After making its debut at The Citadel, the exhibit will travel to several American cities through 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs The Citadel\u2019s robust Fine Arts program is focused on the intersection of the arts, the military, and the community, this compelling exhibition is perfectly aligned with our mission,\u201d said Tiffany Reed Silverman, Director of Fine Arts at The Citadel. \u201cThe honor, duty, and respect evident in each work of art allows every visitor to engage with our nation\u2019s history in a meaningful way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Marine Corps Combat Art Program relies on talented Marines and civilians to document the ongoing missions of the Corps. The guidance they get is simple: \u201cGo to war and do art.\u201d The works of art speak to the experiences of the artists, most of whom were deployed around the globe. The show is divided among five themes: origins of Marine Corps aviation, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, and today\u2019s global force in readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMarine Corps art is up close and personal. It is about the individual Marine\u2014in combat, during training, or while delivering assistance during times of great need,\u201d said Lin Ezell, Curator Emeritus of the Marine Corps. \u201cThis art helps us better appreciate those who wear the uniform of today\u2019s military service members.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artwork includes paintings, portraits, landscapes, snapshots of training and combat, and recruitment posters featuring a variety of historical aircraft. Don\u2019t miss this opportunity to experience the honor, courage, and commitment exemplified by every U.S. Marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Marine Corps Heritage Foundation is pleased to sponsor this exhibition,\u201d said Major General James W. Lukeman, USMC (ret.), who serves as President and CEO of MCHF. \u201cNot everyone is able to travel to the National Museum of the Marine Corps to see its treasures. This program enables us to share Marine Corps history\u2014and its art\u2014more widely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
