Success stories

Celebrating New Artist: Mark Carson
In November, Mark Carson joined the ranks of the Uniting US artists. As wood turners, Mark and AnnMarie immediately connected. Mark's bottle openers, pens, bottle stops, vegetable peelers, etc are proving to be highly popular! We are so happy that Mark joined US!
Birdhouse Art Kit Challenge-Fletcher Family
The retired Navy Fletcher family's birdhouse creations provide perfect residence opportunities as well as colorful additions to anyone's back yard. James, a rising 9th grader, was the artist who completed the American flag birdhouse. He wanted to honor the service and sacrifices of military and others that help keep our country strong! Mrs. Fletcher expressed her gratitude to Uniting US and HHV for giving her family an opportunity to experience the calming and therapeutic affects of art!
Michael Green--SOLD
We are excited to announce Michael Green's artwork selection in the Arlington Public Library Quaranzine: Issue 8 publication. Michael Green's, "Sometimes You Need a Hug" - reflects a difficult time, there is civil unrest, and we are physically isolated from one another. Sometimes you just need a hug to get though, even if you are giving it to yourself. Visit the Uniting US Shop to purchase this or other veteran artwork. Check out Quaranzine: Issue 8 https://library.arlingtonva.us/2020/06/22/quaranzine-issue-8/
David Horan and Leigh Cortez--IAD
In our first installation with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, Uniting US artist's David Horan and Leigh Cortez artwork brightens the Dulles International Airport (IAD) public area. Be sure to keep an eye out for more Uniting US artworks on exhibit in both IAD and Regan National Airport (DCA).
