At the Veteran's Art Center, our purpose is to establish a variety of programs to assist the military, veterans and families, to help them heal and to provide community support with an open studio, art gallery, and art work-shops.  Along with other free programs for Veterans and military families we are providing a community resource for all Veterans.  We are a community of Veterans, military families and others committed to help vets heal.  A small portion of each sale of art created by the artists at the Veterans Art Center is used to help grow and maintain our facility.  This enables our artists to invest in the process of ehlping themselves and their families cope with the stress and injury that they often endure as a are sult of service to our Nation and the World.

Each purchase supports the artisst and the art center and "Helps Veterans Heal".
