More Art More Creativity More Experiences More Engagement More Impact

OPERATION: ART OF VALOR

Operation: Art of Valor is a community-based art program that provides opportunities for creative self-expression outside of clinical care.

It began in 2018 as a partnership with the James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital to offer glassblowing to military patients and veterans through structured, hands-on learning that focuses on improving cognition, teamwork, and confidence. Since 2018, the Morean Arts Center has expanded into photography and ceramics.

FREE to participants, it is limited to Veterans ONLY.

Glass: Class meets every Sunday morning at the Morean Glass Studio from 8am-12pm, Veterans feel free to pop in and meet the group!

Veteran Scholarships for All Other Mediums:

Thanks to the generous support of the Speer Dream Foundation, adult scholarships are available for veterans who would like to explore other art forms at the Morean Arts Center. Veterans interested in trying a new medium are encouraged to call our team today at 727-822-7872 and we will help you get started.

Honor the veteran in your life and support Operation: Art of Valor by purchasing a red, white, and blue glass flower made by veterans in the glass program. You are also welcome to stop by the Morean Glass Studio to hand-pick your glass piece.  If you would like to make an additional gift to support this important program for local veterans, please click below.
