The National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum is offering an art workshop in honor of our veterans. Members of the Fire Arts Center will be on hand to help out with what we hope to be one of many more collaborations with the NVVAM. We want to help provide a supportive environment for veterans to express themselves through a variety of media.

In honor of our veterans, we’re offering an art workshop. Join veterans from Vietnam/Afganistan/Iraq, artists and regular people.
