Art in the Community
Our collaborative community art projects offer San Diego veterans meaningful, therapeutic arts programming that fosters self-confidence, resilience, and lasting hope.
This 7' x 4' painting was created by a group of young female veterans who were paired with teen moms to create this artwork. The painting is permanently displayed inside Lindsay Community School.
public murals
Our Veteran Mural Program provides paid internship opportunities for veterans to create murals in the San Diego community, sharing with the public the challenges they face when returning home from war.
This 4’ x 8’ mural was created by a group of post-911 combat veterans suffering from PTSD who wanted to highlight the difficulties they face going out into the public and trying to reintegrate into society after war.
Collaborative Art projects
Veterans work side by side across consecutive weekends to build a single large-scale piece for public and private venues.
This public artwork was created for the Timken Museum of Art by veteran artists in Combat Arts public art program.
community Exhibitions and workshops
Throughout the year, we host art shows, workshops, and symposiums at art galleries, college campuses, regional theaters, and other community venues, showcasing and discussing the healing power of the arts.
