Exhibition Overview
In Service of Liberty is a multidisciplinary group exhibition kicking off Veterans Day 2026 in downtown San Diego. Curated by Patricia Stockton and sponsored by the Hyacinthe Baron Foundation in collaboration with The Veterans Art Project, the exhibition is presented at the San Diego Public Law Library as part of The People's Gallery: Art & Community.
The exhibition celebrates liberty, service, sacrifice, resilience, healing, and the people and institutions that serve our communities. It brings together works by military veterans and civilian artists alongside a special children's installation created by military youth from the Silver Strand Youth Center — affirming that art belongs to everyone who has given, or been shaped by, a life in service.

Children's Art Installation
Silver Strand Youth Center
Military youth from the Silver Strand Youth Center created original works as part of the exhibition — responding to the themes of liberty, service, and resilience through their own eyes. Their installation stands as a testament to the next generation shaped by a life of service, and to the Foundation's belief that art belongs to every community.
