The Artsy Women Veterans Collective

A Self Love Arts and Crafts Club
Vision Statement:
When you create Art from the Heart it can prevent your brain from Falling apart.
Mission Statement:
Veterans come back home from service feeling disconnected to their community and outside world. The wounds of war are not always from combat and are not always visible. Mental health issues from service to your country come in a variety of forms. A person who has been impacted by a significant trauma can be plagued with fear, loss of self confidence, depression, anxiety and PTSD. This can make someone become isolated and lose that sense of community. A community is so vital for humans to feel a sense of purpose and worthy of living. As a women veteran you signed the dotted line willing to risk it all to fight for the freedom of others and our country. In this group I ask you to fight for yourself to create from your heart just as hard as you fought for others for a change. You are worth it.
We chose the Mermaid as our mascot. Mermaids represent the ability to change and evolve, reminding people to embrace inner transformation and adapt to new phases of life. They can serve as guides for those seeking to connect with their inner creativity and power.
This group is a safe place for an individual to channel their inner mermaid to remember you are worth happiness and joy. While having a group of peers to support you through your creative journey.
Each meeting we channel our inner creativity through different arts and crafts projects challenging us to try something new. Trying new projects is to evoke a sense of self confidence and joy. We choose a different local location for each meeting to challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and into your local community by supporting a local small business.
