United States Veterans Arts Program

Chicago, Illinois

Cause Description:
MISSION To increase the representation of veterans in the arts community. We will achieve this mission by considering the following objectives: To provide "Artistic Tools" (musical instruments, painting supplies, art scholarships, cameras, computers, etc.) to wounded service members; and to bring visibility to the power of art and how it might bring cathartic inner solace for those Americans who have sacrificed in service to their country. To provide "Artistic Tools" (through veteran initiatives) to selected individuals who wish to continue their pursuit of artistic expression but are unable to do so, due to some aspect directly related to the consequences of war. To provide opportunities for US Veteran artists to collaborate with Vietnamese artists on artistic projects; to offer encouragement and support for the collaborative process particularly across cultural boundaries; and to positively bring together new and existing audiences to discover or rediscover the cultural and artistic traditions of both countries.
