Roberta’s Art Gallery in partnership with UW Veterans Services is excited to invite you to “Fur, Feathers, and Fidelity: Military Mascots!”
“Fur, Feathers, and Fidelity: Military Mascots,” a traveling exhibit loaned from the Wisconsin Veterans Museum and in partnership with UW-Whitewater Veteran Services honors the animals that have stood faithfully beside service members throughout history. From lions and monkeys to loyal dogs, military mascots have long served as symbols of pride, unity, and morale for troops across the world. This engaging exhibit explores the history of these remarkable companions, featuring mascots dating back to the Civil War and highlighting the deep connection between humans and animals in times of service and sacrifice. The exhibit will be open to the public from Nov. 10 to Dec. 5.
A special reception will be held on Nov. 11 at 9:45 a.m. at Roberta’s Art Gallery., followed by UW-Whitewater’s Veteran’s Day Ceremony at 11 a.m. in the Hamilton Room of the University Center. Light refreshments will be served at both events. Complimentary parking will be available for the events on the 11th and if you have any questions, call the gallery at (262)472-3193 or email ucart@uww.edu.
