Sound Off! A Women Veterans Art & Wellness Program

“Sound Off!” is a 9-week art and wellness program designed by and for women veterans who have experienced Military Sexual Trauma (MST), intimate partner violence, and gender-based discrimination.  The cohort will meet weekly for trauma-informed creative workshops to process their military experience, share their stories, and build community.  The weekly wellness activities include writing sessions and guided expressive art-making such  as paper making from uniforms, automatic painting, creating personal tapestries, and more. The program culminates in a story-sharing performance which will celebrate the courage and resistance of these women veterans.

The dates of the program are: 

  • September 3
  • September 10
  • September 17
  • September 24
  • October 1
  • October 8
  • October 15
  • October 22
  • October 29
