Thank you California Arts Council for assistance with the VIA grant and helping make the Veterans' Voices project possible.  

Veterans in the Arts desires to address the needs and improve the lives of California’s veterans by increasing equity, access, and opportunities for veterans to participate in quality arts programming that is sensitive and responsive to their unique experiences.

VETART’s most basic mission is to teach, make, and share art. VETART’s down-to-earth, open-minded, actions-speak-louder-than-words culture is accessible and simple. VETART approaches art, and teaching art, believing that a society gains a vastly deepened network of visual/psychological power and cohesion by cultivating a visual artistic language that can be shared. 

OUR MISSION

ARTS Obispo, the San Luis Obispo County Arts Council and the local partner of the California Arts Council, advances the visual, literary and performing arts through programs that promote public access to the arts, arts in educational settings, local arts planning and collaboration, and opportunities for artists and arts organizations.

In 2011 we recognized a need for an organization that would share the therapeutic value of spending quality time with one another on the ocean. As our nation's veterans began returning from combat duty, with many injured in one way or another. As well as all of the men and women who served us over the years in previous conflicts we began our organization with a focus on taking veterans on a VIP fishing experience in the ocean followed by a tri tip bbq.
