CreatiVets – Healing Veterans Through Art
Founded in 2013 by U.S. Marine Richard Casper, a veteran of Fallujah (2007), CreatiVets provides America’s veterans opportunities to heal through art as part of a summer session program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC.) The mission of CreatiVets is to use various forms of art, including songwriting, visual arts, music, and creative writing, to help disabled veterans cope with service-related trauma (i.e., post-traumatic stress, or PTS). And they partner with the best creatives in the industry, from top-notch, Grammy winning songwriters in Nashville.
