Open Studio: Expressive Arts for Veterans

Free, ten-week workshop for veterans and active duty members at The Hermitage Museum & Gardens in Norfolk.

Guided by an art therapist, participants meet in small groups to explore art-making to decrease stress and support wellness. The Open Studio model supports creative engagement and social interaction in community art spaces. Immersing into the art process allows participants to release
emotions and thoughts through a creative force that can relieve stress, encourage problem solving and offer new perspectives.

Registration is required at https://evms.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_23NME210r83ODHg

Hosted by Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences Arts for Optimal Health program at Old Dominion University.  Financial support is provided by Community Leadership Partners of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.
