Veterans Pop-up Arts Café

Veterans Art Project (VETART) and Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) invite you to join them for a day-long celebration of performances, presentations, discussions, and hands-on demonstrations with artists from across the state of California who have served in, and alongside the United States Armed Forces.

Hear from Veteran Artists about their process of art-making and the ways the arts have directly improved their health, strengthened their sense of community and belonging, improved feelings of hope and purpose, and created a means of creative and emotional expression.

Visual art exhibits will include a variety of mediums, including ceramics, glass, paintings, photography, and more. Featured performances throughout the day include music, spoken word, and poetry by veterans.
