We are an inclusive and thriving Veteran to Veteran community that is open to veterans of all branches and eras. Our veteran artists and instructors provide free creativity workshops to veterans, active service members, military family members, and caregivers in the hopes of combating trauma and isolation through community and creative expression. Along with teaching, our veterans participate in and curate art exhibitions and performances as a means of providing exposure and creating pathways for reintegration and professional sustainability. Our goal is to support the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country using visual arts, music, drama, and writing to help transform trauma into healing.
Thanks to generous sponsors, partnerships, and supporters like you, our classes are able to be offered at no cost to veterans and their families. Thanks to our community partnerships with Brushwood Center’s At Ease Program, The Mission Continues, American Legion Cicero Post #96, American Legion Tattler Post #973, Chicago Opera Theater, Chicago Vet Center, Mercado de Colores La Villita, Kids Rank, Chicago Lighthouse for the Blind, and the National Park Service, we have been fortunate to serve hundreds of workshop participants over the past two and a half years.
We are always looking for opportunities to share creativity with veterans and share our individual work with the general public. If you are interested in working with us or supporting our mission in any way, please email us at VeteranArtTribe@gmail.com.
