Mission Statement
Artwork by Veterans (AbV) seeks to help Americans understand military
service through artwork created by veterans. By networking with Museums
and Curators we provide accessible venues for past and present Warriors.
AbV artwork and exhibits reveal the effects of war upon our nation’s
heroes, provides veterans with a creative venue for expression, and
promotes patriotism in a positive light.
The Five Aims of Artwork by Veterans:
A. Collect, preserve, and exhibit artwork inspired by veterans.
B. Educate the American public about military heritage through the Arts
C. Connect the American soldier to the American public
D. Inspire Patriotism in the community
E. Help our warriors heal through the therapy creating art provides.
In recent years, interests in the relationships between art and healing
have become a talking point in the medical world. More than
three-hundred professional organizations are researching, documenting,
and systematizing how engagement with these creative processes impact
PTSD, TBI and Depression. AbV wants to join this conversation by
providing a creative venue for our nation’s heroes.
