Healing in Arts’ Art of Resilience showcases veteran-created works, celebrating healing, strength, and hope at this year’s ArtPrize.
About this Event

Join Healing in Arts for the official opening of Art of Resilience — a moving ArtPrize exhibit honoring the creativity, courage, and healing journeys of our nation’s veterans.

This special event features powerful works created in Healing in Arts workshops, where veterans found space to connect, heal, and share untold stories. Each piece reflects resilience in the face of adversity, triumph over challenges, and the unshakable strength of the human spirit.

Be among the first to experience these artworks in person, hear directly from some of the artists, and discover how art continues to inspire and transform lives long after the paint has dried.

📅 Date: September 20

📍 Location: Veterans Memorial Park

Time: 10:30am

Your presence matters. When you join us, you help honor our veterans, amplify their voices, and keep the transformative power of art alive in our community.

Come ready to be moved, inspired, and part of something bigger than all of us.


Art of Resilience by Healing in Arts is funded in part by Creative Forces®: NEA Military Healing Arts Network, an initiative of the National Endowment in partnership with the U.S. Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. Creative Forces Community Engagement Grant program is managed by Mid-America Arts Alliance.
