DDOA's 'CreatiVets' classes are free and open to veterans even if they don't have past experience making art.

The Delaware Division of the Arts is launching a series of art classes tailored specifically for military veterans.

The arts have proven to help veterans navigate the challenges of life after service and the Division's eight-week program offers more than just a creative outlet; it’s a space for connection, expression, and support.

For this edition of Arts Playlist, Delaware Public Media’s Martin Matheny is joined by Briana Henry – Community Engagement Program Officer for the Delaware Division of the Arts – to learn more about the classes and how the arts can benefit veterans.
