VETERANS CREATIVE ARTS – Veterans Helping Veterans Through the Creative Arts
Veterans Creative Arts is a Veteran Run Organization designed to further assist other veterans in the Creative Arts.
Once we get the veteran involved in the Creative arts our purpose is to help them achieve their goals. Whether it be playing on stage in front of a crowd, selling their wares through various means or even competing in the National Veterans Creative Arts.
Bill Richards is the founder of Veterans Creative Arts, and first got started in the arts in the mid 1970’s While in High School he won several awards both in art and music.
During the mid-late 80’s Mr. Richards attended Western Kentucky University where he took several advanced art classes before enlisting in the US Army in 1989.
Veterans Creative Arts is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States
An Example Of Veterans Creative Arts.
Steve Kost – Veterans Artwork
Steve Kost: US NAVY Seabees “I have had my work on exhibit at Northern Illinois University Art Museum, Veteran Art shows in Texas, Denver, Chicago and Michigan. I have created artwork from the famous Old Joliet Prison that is on display in the Illinois State Museum Lockport Gallery. I am proud to have won a national award in 2019 for using art as therapy for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
I have found a healthy way to focus my anxiety into art, and a way to inspire other veterans to pursue art and music. I am truly grateful to have supportive friends behind me as I find new opportunities to share the healing power of my art with the world.
