Place of Peace Veteran's Art Show Opening Reception
About Place of Peace
Local De Soto Artist Jim Walker will have his photos included in this show.
Place of Peace shines a light on the veteran experience. Transitioning to civilian life can be a difficult journey, often marked by depression, anxiety, and the sudden loss of structure and support. This exhibit gives voice to those experiences through art.
Featuring the work of several military veterans, the show celebrates the unique journeys of each artist. Their work spans a wide range of media—from wood sculptures and found-object art to painting, photography, colored pencil, and drawing.
Some participating artists have years of experience, while others are just beginning to explore their creative voices. Regardless of experience, each piece offers a window into the artist’s perspective and story.
The Place of Peace Veterans Art Exhibit was created by the Arts Council of Johnson County.
Visit the City Hall Art Gallery to learn more about the artists and experience their powerful work firsthand.

City Hall Renovation Opening Reception
For more than a century, the City Hall building has been part of De Soto's story.
Originally opened as De Soto High School in 1918, it has since served generations of students, residents, elected officials, and City staff. Following the completion of recent renovations, we're opening the doors and inviting the community back inside.
Whether you attended school here, have visited City Hall countless times, or have simply wondered what the building looks like inside, we'd love to welcome you to our City Hall Open House “back-to-school night!”
Local Artist Maureen Fieleke of Mo Paint Please will debut her oil painting of downtown De Soto at the reception.
