Oil Drum Art

This past weekend, I had the pleasure to view an amazing exhibit temporarily housed in Hartford Union Station's Great Hall, Bang the Drum! I was amazed at the unique works of art that were transformed by recycled, 55-gallon oil drums. Rather than ending up in landfills, they were depicting powerful statements by artists about global issues along with our dependency of oil.

Over 40 new and revisited oil drum artists were showcased along with 36 Hartford students, inspired trash art drums. These oil drums can be seen in local city streets and are used as trashcans. Oil Drum Art, Inc. a non-profit organization in Beacon Falls, CT hosted the exhibit. Since the organization's six years of existence, it has presented 26 exhibits for over 27,5000 viewers. Check out the Oil Drum Art Flipbook to view a page-by-page account of who they are, where they have come from and where they are going.

Armed Forces History Museum

While in Tampa last month, I had the pleasure to visit the Armed Forces History Museum. The exhibits were awesome and took you through many war and time eras. The museum beautifully captured and honored the history of the United States of America Armed Forces.
