About Us
How We're Helping
The Veteran’s Arts Council (VAC) is a non-profit veterans organization founded by VFW Post 1 and is open to all military veterans. The VAC showcases, mentors, educates, and provides economic opportunities for veteran artists working in any medium from all generations and service backgrounds. The VAC encourages the artistic development of veterans with the goal of empowering them to transform their experiences into media and contribute to the greater arts community – a community that enriches life for all citizens.
We also work with VAC devoted civilian artists and partner with outside organizations as part of our commitment to community outreach and veteran integration with the community.
Get Involved
VAC artists can contact us to have their work added to our online gallery.
Want to become a VAC artist?
Bring 3 or 4 examples of your art to our physical art gallery at VFW Post 1 on the second Saturday of each month at 2:30 pm.
We will review your art and get you signed up. In addition to all the other benefits of being a VAC artist, your work could also be curated into our art gallery and joining is free. We welcome painting, drawing, sculpture, etc. from veterans and from a limited number of civilian artists who want to work and show alongside veterans. In addition to business and art classes, we also provide art mentors when one-on-one guidance might be best for enhancing individual skills.
