The Veteran’s Art Center, A Grand Junction Original

The Veteran's Art Center is unique to Grand Junction. I've worked in several markets across the country and have never seen any place quite like it. This Veteran's Day remember to support this wonderful cause.

My father served in the Navy. My step-father in the Army. My grandfather, uncles, cousins, and other family members all served in the Armed Forces. My tour today of The Veteran's Art Center reminded me of the great debt we owe to all who have served.

Their mission is to establish a variety of programs to assist the military, veterans, and families, to help them heal and to provide community support with an open studio, art gallery, and artwork- shops. Along with other free programs for veterans and military families they are providing a community resource for all veterans. They're a community of veterans. military families and others committed to helping vets heal.

 The Veteran's Art Center has a fully functional woodworking shop.

An awesome music room where veteran's gather for jam sessions and a sound room to record audio. All the instruments are donations and free for the vet's to play.

There's so much more. It would take pages of text to share all the amazing services this place provides. Please take time and discover it for yourself. It operates completely on the love and donations of others.

Veteran's Day the 11th, Operation Revamp presents their annual Art & Music Extravaganza at The Avalon Theater, 645 Main downtown Junction.  It's a FREE, all afternoon and evening event, for the citizens of the Western Slope to celebrate and honor our Veterans. Please plan to attend...and Veterans, "Thank you for your service."
