SOLDIERS IN THE ARTS (SITA)

OUR MISSION

​

SITA will create opportunities and advancements for veterans and their families to explore their creative potential and reacquaint themselves with society through training in the arts. 

​

Studies have shown that art has the capability of dramatically assisting in the rehabilitation of PTSD and other mental health challenges. Our objective at SITA is to provide arts-based training to further the individual healing journey and growth of veterans and their families. This will foster creativity and provide mentorship in an inclusive and supportive environment with diverse professionals in the art industry.  We believe that there is a lack of opportunities for veterans and their families to reconnect with their curious child selves, heal and express their authenticity through art. It is our purpose to provide a safe space and community while exploring the arts as well as an opportunity to tell individual stories.
