Veterans Art Program
Art for the Journey's Veterans Art Program provides monthly art-making experiences for veterans with service-related disabilities and PTSD/polytrauma at the Richmond VA Medical Center, St. Francis Home, and other appropriate community locations. Veterans create beautiful art to take home and exhibit annually in the community. Projects include a range of media, from clay-work and memorial boxes to acrylic pour projects and artmaking with watercolor, acrylic, pencil, and oil pastel. Led by a team of artists and volunteers, the program aims to create a positive communal environment characterized by personal engagement, friendship, and well-being.
The program allows veterans to experience a higher quality of life and greater well-being.
