Creative Mission: Art Therapy for Veterans

Dallas Art Therapy is proud to be one of 41 organizations nationwide awarded a Creative Forces® Community Engagement Grant—an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs.

Our Creative Mission group offers free, community-based art therapy for veterans and service members. This weekly gathering provides a safe and welcoming space for military-connected individuals to explore creativity, reduce isolation, and foster emotional resilience through the healing power of art.

Led by a credentialed art therapist, participants engage in expressive artmaking, reflection, and connection with others who share similar life experiences. No prior art experience is required—just an open mind and a willingness to create.
