In collaboration with the Manchester Veteran Administration Medical Center (MVAMC), Art for Vets is able to provide access to the art and wellness experiences in our galleries and classrooms on a weekly basis, year-round.

We aim to serve our veteran and active service members by creating programs that align with the Whole Health philosophy of the MVAMC and promoting their individual wellness through creativity; building a sense of accomplishment; uncovering new insights about themselves and each other; sparking effective, fluid, and transparent communication; inspiring overall camaraderie and shared support among all involved. Meaningful and respectful dialogue, the pursuit of whole health, and the benefits of the creative process are the keystones of Art for Vets.

The Art for Vets program is for veterans, active military, and their immediate family members.
