Programs at the Veterans Art Center Tampa Bay
The Veterans Art Center Tampa Bay programs are designed to bring awareness, support, education, and community for mental health and healing, and suicide prevention for service members, veterans, first responders, and their families in the Tampa Bay area.
Using alternative therapies through art as our avenue – our focus is mental health and healing.
Each year we review, update, and tailor our programs ie. classes/courses and partnerships to remain relevant and timely with the community we serve.
