ArtTroop: Connecting veterans through art.
ArtTroop is a free 10-week program for military veterans and service members. Participants of the program attend a weekly class at the Indy Art Center where they build upon their existing artistic skills and learn new techniques in a variety of visual art media. Each year, the Art Center supports a Spring and Fall cohort.
ArtTroop strives to create a positive and stress-free atmosphere to help students build artistic confidence, discover new passions, and find a creative community with fellow members of the Armed Forces. Interested individuals can apply to the ArtTroop program during active registration periods. Previous art experience is not required but welcomed.
ArtTroop is presented by Jim and Pat LaCrosse.
ArtTroop aims to cultivate a safe, inclusive, and supportive space. While this program may be therapeutic in nature, it is not a therapy service. Our instructors are not licensed therapists, but rather professional teaching artists who come with years of studio experience and a commitment to compassion, empathy, and respect.
