JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO, Lackland Texas – The Air Force Services Center is set to release the first five episodes of the highly anticipated Artisan Air series Memorial Day Weekend!

The new series showcases the creativity and depth of talent in both the Air Force and Space Force.

“The Air Force Services Center recognizes that people are its greatest asset, accordingly we are putting audiences behind the scenes of service members’ lives and are engaging audiences with a new 30 episode series,” comments Richard Cooper, Strategic Marketing & Branding Specialist. “Our Over-The-Top (OTT) media channel, AF Live APP, will feature our Artisan Air series and showcases Airmen’s and Guardians’ most coveted interests.”

The series release will kick off May 25 with five 30-minute episodes highlighting a mix of talent ranging from visual artists, musicians, and poets. Five new episodes will be released every Thursday through June 29th.
