Creative Arts for Birmingham Veterans

University of Alabama at Birmingham in partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs-Birmingham VA Healthcare System will pilot Creative Arts for Birmingham Veterans, which includes four six-week virtual arts workshops that will serve four already-established Whole Health veteran groups through the Birmingham VA. The four workshops will explore creative and expressive writing, visual art, mindful movement, and compassionate listening with reflective visual art-making. Each group will take part in one six-week class before moving on to the next art form in the cycle. Over the course of the year, all four groups will experience four workshop offerings.
