Civic Arts Team

Creative Forces® brings together creative arts therapists (CATS), community arts providers, community artists, and researchers with local partners in communities nationwide to improve the health, well-being, and quality of life for military and veteran populations exposed to trauma, as well as their families and caregivers.

Creative Forces® is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. Creative Forces® is managed in partnership with Americans for the Arts, Civic Arts, The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, and Mid-America Arts Alliance.
