About Us

Finding Inspiration At Every Turn

Art of Valor, Inc. was created to offer veterans a sense of empowerment, reduce stress, and promote healing in ways that conventional talk therapy may not. We offer a unique, holistic approach to recovery, one that nurtures their emotional well-being while providing a space for creative expression.

 

 

 

 

 

Many veterans face significant challenges when transitioning from military to civilian life, including mental health issues like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Traditional therapies, while effective for some, may not always resonate with every individual. Art therapy provides a non-verbal, creative outlet for veterans to express complex emotions, process traumatic experiences and develop new coping mechanisms in a safe and supportive environment.  

Art of Valor Inc. is structured exclusively as a nonprofit for purposes pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Our Story

In an effort to build a vibrant community, while supporting our brave men and women through artistic expression and holistic wellness, we've compiled an amazing team.
