WELCOME

WELCOME to the ART OF WAR PROJECT Our most basic mission is to teach, make, and share art. The rest takes care of itself . We are a program where Peer Veterans, Active Duty Military and their Families can create and connect through art. Ultimately we believe in the power of ART as a healing and visual language.  One that allows intense personal insight to be gained by the participant.  We as a society gain a vastly deepened network of visual/psychological power and cohesion by cultivating an artistic language that can be shared by al l people .
