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

Art Journaling is the practice of assembling creative experimentation, written journaling, art play and self-examination in a sketchbook. There are as many ways to art journal as there are people who art journal, but in this class we'll explore a few different approaches that are beginner friendly and can be built on as you continue at home. 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.
