 Creative Journey is one of our oldest and most important outreach programs. It started about six years ago. This program is created for veterans. We have every third Friday of every month, any veterans can come here and make art with us. We have two separate classrooms. One is all about making pottery, and the other one is all about paintings. We have volunteers, local artists, that come and help us. And you don't have to be an artist to do this. Anybody can do it. We are here to help you. So every year or so we do pieces that are done as a collaborative pieces. So this series of small canvases that a local artist kind of prepared and our veterans work young together. We actually, when this program started, it was very specifically towards veterans that endure injuries in service. And art is so therapeutic. We are not art therapists, but when you come and make art, it makes you feel better. And so any veteran can come and make art with us. Well, it seems like we have a little family of veterans that come every month. Every other month there is a bus of veterans that come from the VA hospital, which is a bigger group, but we have a little family of veterans that come every month. And it's just their outlet, it's just their place to go and they never want to miss. One of our oldest veterans that come here is in his mid-80s and his wife has to drop him off, but he will never miss. I think he in the past few years missed maybe one of the creative journey events. And so you can tell that people just love it and enjoy coming here and have a creative outlet. You can choose between pottery and painting. We choose simple hand-building projects and if you come next time you get to glaze your project as well. So you will go home with a completely finished project. With the painting we have canvases. We use simple images that people can try to copy. But we also work with professional artists that will help you to get more comfortable to create. It is available to all veterans. Anybody can come in. Contact us at Columbia Art Center, either Brenda Oliver or myself.
