Join us for an inspiring afternoon as we celebrate the creativity and talents of Veterans at the annual Local Creative Arts Competition!
This event showcases Veteran entries in visual art, creative writing, music, dance, and drama—all powerful forms of healing and expression. A panel of local judges will select top entries during the morning session, with the public invited to view the artwork and performances in the afternoon.
- Public Viewing: 12:30 PM – 3:00 PM
- Judging: 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM (not open to public)
Winning entries will advance to the National Veterans Creative Arts Festival, where last year, three of our local Veterans took home national honors!
