About

The VCPA unites the military veteran and the civilian community by professionally developing and producing the veterans’ original works in the visual, fine and performing arts.

In so doing, the VCPA will share its creations with persons who otherwise might not have occasion to understand the military experience; also, the VCPA will use these works as a means to express, educate and employ the veteran, their families and their communities.

F.A.Q

  Is it just for military veterans?

 Absolutely not. The creations are generated by military veterans in order to give voice to the veteran experiences, but since an important part of the mission of the VCPA is to bridge gaps between the veteran and civilian communities, the new works are then further developed and produced by both military veterans and civilians.
