# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Battle Born: Don Olea's Artistic Journey into Historic Military Art 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 02 Aug, 2025 at 10:00 am
- **Event Description**: The MACC has long been devoted to art by and for military veterans, in part because Monthaven is so steeped in the region’s military history. During the Civil War, the mansion was converted into a field hospital. Both Union and Confederate soldiers were treated in the home.

The featured artist for the MACC’s 7th Annual Veterans Art Exhibition is Gallatin resident Don Olea, an award-winning illustrator, photographer, digital and watercolor painter. He is currently a board member of the Nashville Artist Guild, a member of the Tennessee Watercolor Society, and a juried member of the prestigious American Society of Aviation Artists. As an Airborne Army veteran (1983-86), and military history buff, he has been inspired through his watercolor and digital paintings, to honor and tell the story of those who came before him serving with honor and distinction. His realism style serves the historical military art genre well and helps to tell their story to fellow veterans, family members and enthusiasts. His goal is to eventually have at least one painting representing every major military conflict from the Revolutionary War to the present. As a proud veteran and artist, Don Olea will not let the flame of patriotism vanquish.

Every Veterans Art Exhibition includes a Boots and BBQ Fundraiser, which supports Between the Lines. The program empowers military veterans in Middle Tennessee who are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and major depressive disorder. This year’s fundraiser will be August 2, 2025 at the Bagsby Ranch in Gallatin.
