Thanks to a generous grant from Disabled Veterans Charities, Destination: Art is proud to offer free art workshops for veterans: Veterans Creative Muster. Each four-hour workshop includes all supplies and lunch.
To foster creativity and healing through art, we invite veterans to attend and enjoy the following benefits:
-Engaging with fellow veterans in a supportive environment
-Exploring various art mediums, including painting, drawing and mixed media
-Learning techniques from experienced instructors
-Expressing your thoughts and emotions through creative outlets
-Building confidence and self-esteem through artistic achievements
-Enjoying a therapeutic experience that promotes mental well-being
Discover the joy of gel plate printing! Learn easy, hands-on techniques to create stunning, one-of-a-kind prints. Gel plate printing uses a soft, mineral oil-based printing plate, acrylic paint, and found materials to create fun prints that can’t be reproduced in other ways. You will learn how to make single and multi-layer prints using paint and stencils. No prior art experience is necessary; all skill levels are welcome! All materials plus lunch are provided. This workshop series is open and FREE to Veterans, Servicemembers, and military caregivers ages 18 and older. Space is limited.
Note: Our registration system will tell you that your spot in the class will not be reserved until you pay. Since this is a free workshop, however, you may disregard that notification.
