Creative Collaborations: Unlocking the Power of Community Arts Partnerships (Creative Forces Webinar)
Join us on Thursday, November 21st, at 1:00 p.m. ET for an in-depth webinar presented by Creative Forces®: NEA Military Healing Arts Network. This session will spotlight the unique partnerships between community arts organizations, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DoD) clinics, and national networking organizations, illustrating how these collaborations can enhance an organization’s ability to create meaningful impact for both military-connected individuals and the broader communities they serve.
Participants will explore various forms of partnerships, including referrals and outreach, resource sharing, program design, and Veteran Services Organization (VSO) and Military Services Organization (MSO) networking. Real-world examples will highlight how VA and DoD staff can play a pivotal role in arts-based projects. The webinar also seeks to raise awareness of federal and national non-profit networks that can serve as effective partners in serving military and veteran populations.
Whether you are a grant recipient, an arts organization, clinician or community artist interested in supporting the military, this webinar is designed to inspire and equip you with the tools to start or strengthen your collaborations. Don’t miss the chance to gain actionable insights, connect with potential partners, and make that important first call with your future partners!
