2012 National Veterans Creative Arts Festival |
The National Veterans Creative Arts
Festival has officially kicked off in
Boston, Massachusetts. The week-long
festival uses the creative arts as one
form of rehabilitative treatment to help
Veterans recover from and cope with
physical and emotional disabilities.
Across the country each year, Veterans
treated at VA facilities compete in a
local creative arts competition. The
competition includes 53 categories in
the visual arts division this year that
range from oil painting to leatherwork
to paint-by-number kits. In addition,
there are 120 categories in the
performing arts pertaining to all
aspects of music, dance, drama and
creative writing. A national selection
committee chooses first, second and
third place winners among all of the
entries. Select winners have been
invited to attend the Creative Arts
Festival in Boston.
