With support from the California Arts Council, PIECE BY PIECE will provide free, therapeutic mosaic workshops for Veterans from across Los Angeles County. While some success has been made to house more Veterans – housed or unhoused – they are still among our most at-risk citizens suffering isolation, mental and physical health issues, PTSD, and depression. By engaging in the meditative process of mosaic arts in a supportive community Veterans, from all branches of the military and years of service have an opportunity to process complex emotions, and find satisfaction in the transformative, creative practice of art without judgement or expectation – and in a highly accessible medium that does not require prior experience. Funds will support the trauma-informed teaching staff, all mosaic materials and tools, and workshop set up providing full accessibility for disabled vets.
