Connecting military spouses in the arts with each other and their communities
Military Spouse Fine Artists Network (MilspoFAN) is empowering military spouses in the fine arts - including dance, visual arts, fiction, theater, poetry, multimedia art, and more - to promote their work, tell their stories, and grow their artistic networks. The MilspoFAN blog started in 2016 and is run by a group of dedicated volunteers.
"Mrs. Houdini" in ink!
I wanted to share an image with you that was created by the daughter of a military family who is in her first year of art school and still manages to make time to connect with MilspoFAN.In this illustration, Carly Dilday responds to MilspoFAN’s recent interview with Victoria Kelly. Carly’s illustration was inspired by Bess Houdini – the central character of Victoria’s latest book Mrs. Houdini– waiting for her husband to contact her from the other side after his death.
Our first work of art!
I had the wonderful opportunity to commission some artwork for the site from Carly Dilday, the daughter of a military family this summer. Carly has headed off to art school this fall to pursue her passion for illustration. She was gracious enough to create some lovely illustrations for MilspoFAN before she left.
A blip from the other side
Hello Dear MilspoFAN readers,With the passing of Labor Day, Summer 2016 is now unofficially complete! For my family this has meant the addition of a new baby and a PCS move across the country. This week is the beginning of our newest normal. The boxes are unpacked and Mr. MilspoFAN is back at work.
