Vet Art Span
The Straz Center for the Performing Arts and James A. Haley Veteran’s Hospital present the VetArtSpan project as part of Creative Forces®: NEA Military Healing Arts Network, an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with the U.S. Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs and state and local arts agencies. Creative Forces began in military and veteran medical facilities via the integration of creative arts therapies into treatment plans for military service members with traumatic brain injury and psychological health conditions.
VetArtSpan is designed to demonstrate an artistic roadmap that serves to bridge the expanse of health, art and the collaborative efforts of the medical, science, and art community in support of the healing, wellness, and reintegration of our veteran citizens and their families. This program is also designed to create a platform for connecting and informing the civilian population about the structure and cultural nuances of military life and the important ways the civilian community can support and enrich the re-integration of our veterans and their families as they return home.
