“CreatiVets Exhibition” Opening Reception
January 17, 2024
The 2024 CreatiVets Exhibition highlights art created by U.S. military veterans. The featured works were made during a two-week art-instruction program at the Glassell School of Art. The exhibition is on view through February 2 in Levant Gallery on the ground floor.
In partnership with the national nonprofit organization CreatiVets, the program uses art as a process for healing. This second iteration at the Glassell School offered veterans instruction in film, photography, and ceramics.

About the Program
CreatiVets is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the goal of offering opportunities for relief and healing for the men and women who have sacrificed so much for the United States. Using various forms of art, including songwriting, visual arts, music, and creative writing, CreatiVets helps disabled veterans cope with service-related trauma (such as post-traumatic stress, or PTS) by fostering self-expression in a way that allows them to transform their stories of trauma and struggle into an art form that can inspire and motivate continued healing.
The CreatiVets Workshop and Exhibition receives generous funding from the Phillip and Edith Leonian Foundation.
The Glassell School of Art receives generous funding from the Glassell Family; The Skiles Foundation; Leslie and Brad Bucher; Mr. and Mrs. John S. Orton; Powell Foundation; Sue and Rusty Burnett; Ellen and David Berman; JBD Foundation; Wells Fargo Foundation; and additional generous donors.
