With help from the California Arts Council, Piece by Piece will continue offering therapeutic art workshops for Veterans empowering them to create a community of healing. Since 2007 we have provided free, mosaic workshops staffed with trauma informed professionals – where individuals who have experienced trauma from being unhoused, military service, poverty, or physical/mental/emotional disabilities have an opportunity to heal through participation in the creative arts. We practice mosaic arts – easily accessible and requiring no prior experience – workshops led by Piece by Piece Artistic/Program Director, Dawn Mendelson ensure that veterans, their families, and/or care givers can participate and benefit. The curriculum was created by Dawn in collaboration with Village for Vets and James G, a veteran and Certified Piece by Piece artist. Funds will directly support materials, staff, and accessibility for all abilities.
