The purpose of the Veteran Art Institute is to provide encouragement, inspiration and support to all Veteran Artists seeking to promote their art while calling public attention to their stories. Their powerful stories demonstrate the transformative and healing power of art. Plus, their art connects them with us, the public, who have not served as well as the entire veteran community. Veteran Artists can exhibit or sell their art in local community buildings or in partnership with local businesses, at no cost to veterans, enabling them with the financial means to promote their art publicly.
