Driven to Transform: Art, Service, and the Spirit of Giving

 

A Fundraising Exhibition Benefiting Warrior Foundation Freedom Station

 

Exhibition Dates: December 9, 2025 – January 17, 2026

 

Venue: The Vista Library, 700 Eucalyptus Avenue, Vista, CA 92084

 

Art All Ways Projects proudly presents Driven to Transform: Art, Service, and the Spirit of Giving, a curated exhibition and fundraising initiative in collaboration with the Warrior Foundation Freedom Station and the Vista Library.

 

Opening Saturday, December 9, the exhibition honors the strength, resilience, and creative voices of Southern California veterans while celebrating the transformative power of contemporary art.

 

Curated by Hoojung Lee, Director/Curator of Art All Ways Projects, the exhibition brings together artists whose work explores transformation, humanity, identity, and renewal through bold visual expression.

 

Featured artists include Retna, Salomon Huerta, Ana Morales-Huerta, Justin Bower, Carlos Ramirez, Umar Rashid, Simphiwe Ndzube, Nyame Brown, Jay Sylvester, Ann Bedrick, Ryan Campbell, Cristopher Cichocki, Juan Carlos Muñoz Hernandez (a.k.a. Heaven), and Zes, alongside veteran artists Wm Marquez (a.k.a. Wm Schinsky), Reginald Green, and Steven Dilley from the Southern California veteran
art community.

 

The opening reception will feature a live painting activation by acclaimed graffiti artist Juan Carlos Muñoz Hernandez (a.k.a. Heaven), as well as a collaborative “Transformation Table” where veteran artists and contemporary artists will work together on a large, evolving canvas created specifically for this exhibition. These interactive elements invite visitors to witness creativity in motion and experience the exhibition’s theme of transformation firsthand.

 

Through painting, sculpture, and mixed media, Driven to Transform offers visitors a space to reflect on resilience—both personal and collective—while building meaningful bridges between the arts and the veteran community.

 

A portion of proceeds from artwork sold during the exhibition will benefit the Warrior Foundation Freedom Station, whose mission is to support, empower, and uplift wounded and injured veterans on their path toward recovery and reintegration into civilian life.

 

Driven to Transform invites the public to experience an inspiring, community-centered event that celebrates service, creativity, and the enduring power of art to heal and connect. Artwork is available for purchase through Art All Ways throughout the exhibition period.
