Rallying a creative and thriving community of artists and entrepreneurs through
connection, education, and inspiration to grow and give back.
This is a creative wellness program designed to support veterans through connection, expression, and community. This program is made possible through grant support from the Cornelia T Bailey Foundation, and we are proud to offer a series of engaging arts experiences at no cost to veterans.
Types of Classes :
Guitar Classes
Beginner and Intermediate
Our guitar classes provide a welcoming, supportive environment for veterans at both beginner and intermediate levels. Participants gain confidence, reduce stress, and experience the powerful connection that comes from making music alongside others.
Creative writing
Monthly Workshop
These monthly workshops offer veterans a safe and encouraging space to explore storytelling, reflection, and self-expression through writing. Guided prompts and group discussion help spark creativity while honoring each participant’s unique voice.
Improv & Expressive Arts
Playful Group Session
Through guided activities rooted in movement, theater games, and spontaneous expression, participants learn to trust themselves, collaborate with others, and step outside their comfort zones in a supportive environment.
