About this Event
Honoring Service. Preserving Legacy.
Portrait of a Warrior Gallery Kern County invites you to our inaugural Gala, an evening dedicated to the 27 Kern County service members who gave their lives in the wars following September 11, 2001, and to the Gold Star Families who keep their memories alive.
Since 2018, the Gallery has honored these local heroes through portraits, biographies, education, and exhibits, while connecting veterans and their families with resources. As we prepare to open our expanded downtown home in 2027, we invite you to stand with us and celebrate the community that has made this work possible.
