About this Event
In celebration of Veterans Day, The NYC Veterans Arts Based Healing Coalition invites all military veterans and their families to experience a day of creativity, movement, and community. Through engaging workshops in dance, movement, and music, we’ll explore the power of the arts to build camaraderie, celebrate service, and strengthen our shared bonds.
No prior experience is needed—just bring your energy, curiosity, and spirit of connection as we honor those who have served through the universal language of the arts.
Guests are welcome to join any of the creative workshops throughout the day—no need to stay the entire time or attend all three. Come when you can and enjoy a day of community, creativity, and connection!
