News Exhibit Featuring Portraits of Veterans by President George W. Bush Coming to The American Adventure

Interesting. I didn’t know he painted. Learn something new every day.

He wasn't a painter when he was president. He took it up in retirement, and has gotten quite good at it I think. I do love his idea of painting portraits of veterans - I hope it's still there when I go for my April trip next year...

I still love the American Adventure. Always drag the family in. They usually nap while I geek out like, “it’s Benjamin-freakin-Franklin!”

I do too. We just somehow always miss the times. Maybe this trip because we'll have 1.5 days. I dragged the family to all the circlevision shows last summer and they enjoyed them. They didn't remember them as we hadn't done them in about 10 years.

Looking forward to seeing the exhibit on our upcoming trip. Glad it will be there for an extended period of time. There have been some wonderful exhibits featured at AA over the years. I always wander the gallery of paintings that are permanently hung there.
Thanks to Pres. Bush for honoring our veterans and highlighting their stories.

I "dragged" my kids to the AA and HoP and Circlevision shows when my oldest was 13 or so and I was pleasantly surprised by how much they enjoyed them. I think it is easy to underestimate how the younger generation will react to such things but they are well done timeless attractions that I believe stand the test of time.

One year with the possibility of extension.

Wonderful! Thank you for finding the answer to my question. I really appreciate it and we are really looking forward to seeing this at Disney.

This is a great idea! Both historically and financially important for those that served. Looking forward to visiting on our next trip.

Whether you were a fan of his presidency or not, this is a classy move.

Bush has aged in reverse. He looks great for his age. He always liked to be fit and in shape .

He really has. Every president seems to age horribly in office, but he really looks like he got his youth back once he was out of politics.

And a classy comment!

Hope this exhibition sticks around for a bit.

With how sideways some of these discussions have gotten at times, I’m honestly shocked and very proud at how respectful this thread has been.

A reminder that Epcot, among other things - is a museum! In addition to the American adventure gallery (currently showing Native American art) there are galleries in Mexico, Norway, China, Japan, and Morocco.
