The Morean Arts Center partnered with James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital to offer glassblowing to military patients and veterans as part of a community-based arts program in 2018. In 2020 the program expanded to offer photography, which allowed the artists to remain engaged while observing COVID restrictions. With the support of the regional arts and military community, we will expand the program to include clay art activities and other mediums this year. Regardless of the mission art form or materials, Operation: Art of Valor exists to serve the military and veteran population through structured, hands-on learning that focuses on improving cognition, social interaction, physical dexterity, teamwork and confidence.
