What is the Veterans Art Scholarship?The Veterans Art Scholarship was created to provide our Nations Heroes with the healing power of art and camaraderie. Classes and Workshops have been made available at no charge to our Veteran community worldwide. Veterans can participate at the North Port Art Center or attend virtual classes. This program is designed to encourage veterans to utilize art therapy as a coping tool to help with the struggles from their time in the service.
We are dedicated to the mental wellness of our veterans as well as the rest of our community. The Veterans Art Scholarship was made possible by donations and calendar sales of "Art of War". Your support and donations make this program possible. Please donate below. |
