Think creativity isn’t for you? Every Veteran knows how to adapt, rebuild, and reimagine... that *is* creativity.
This free, Veteran-designed & Veteran-led workshop is a chance to:
✨ Get to know the awesome SPARK! team and connect with fellow Veterans
✨ Explore rhythm, language, and visual patterns using Morse code as our starting point
✨ Try creative tools in a non-clinical, trauma-aware space — no art experience needed
✨ Leave with new skills, good laughs, a warm invitation to return, and maybe a surprise about what you’re capable of
What Veterans are saying:
💬 “Putting what I’m battling to sound… it was so awesome.”
💬 “How everyone became connected through the beat of Morse code.”
💬 “Feeling welcomed.”
💬 “Even though I didn’t want to participate at first, I did afterwards.”
💬 “It’s all about us.”
This is the point: it’s all about Veterans.
We’re employing these workshops to build a movement where Veterans can feel safe to explore their voices in a non-judgmental, Veteran-forward environment - using the arts as a springboard for dialogue about what moves inside of us.
✅ Open to Veterans of all service branches and eras, plus spouses and caregivers (with a Veteran)
✅ Free of charge
✅ RSVP preferred for planning, but walk-ins welcome
