Thanks to generous support from The Boeing Company and the Arizona Department of Veteran Services, Mesa Arts Center is pleased to present Arts in Service, which provides creative pathways for veterans and service members to use studio arts experiences in reaching their personal goals, whether those are finding a supportive community, stress relief, working toward overall health and wellness, or pursuing career interests in art-making. 

To register for an Arts in Service class, please contact the Box Office at 480-644-6500.

Arts  in Service Policies:

Arts in Service classes are only for veterans or service members of the United States Armed Forces. Students will be asked to present their DD214 the first day of class or may present their Driver's License with the VETERAN designation.

Participants may only enroll for 2 classes for the first two weeks and may add their name to a waitlist for a 3rd class. On August 16, 2019, registration will open to more than 2 courses. If you are accepted into a class from a waitlist, the Box Office will contact you.

Participants must submit a valid email address with their registration - all communication regarding classes will be sent via email.

“The Arts in Service program is valuable for many reasons. Being in a group of veterans who share the experience of military service is indescribable. Seeing my peers with service-related injuries, and stresses alongside me means many things. Not having to explain my experiences which define me and are, frankly, unrelatable to the majority of Americans is a relief... I feel comfortable to learn what I can, at my own speed.”  –Caryn Walsh, USAF Veteran
