WNY Veteran & Artists Wellness Collaborative

Second Thursday of the month from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm, October through May.
The Burchfield Penney Art Center, in collaboration with the VA WNY Community Engagement and Partnership Program, is offering classes for current and former military members and their families. 

Join us for an evening of art and connection, made for veterans and their families. We'll start with a guided gallery tour exploring how art gives voice to experience, then move into a hands-on art-making session with one of our educators. All ages and experience levels are welcome.

Art helps veterans express what words can't reach, and helps families process time spent apart. More than that, it's a chance to connect, build friendships, and grow your support network in a welcoming, low-pressure space.

The program is free and open to all veterans and their families. From October through May, sessions run every second Thursday from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
