We are thrilled to announce our new arts education series for veterans and military-connected individuals in the community! The Allied Arts Veterans Art Program partners with local teaching artists to offer free art classes to veterans, military members, guard, reserves, their spouses/partners and caregivers. Our mission is to provide a comfortable, creative space for our participants to discover the creative arts and explore artistic expression as a form of self-care.
Come join local artist Lori VanEtta to learn how to create an abstract painting. You can be a rank beginner or someone who wants to learn more from her years of painting experience. She will explain the differences between types of acrylic paints and useful mediums. She will introduce basic design armatures as a foundation to a successful painting. We will review color mixing and ways to keep your colors bright. You will learn several tricks for layering paint, adding texture and just having fun. All supplies will be provided. You just need to come with an open attitude and some old clothing that you can spill on without worries. Let’s play!

As part of our Veteran Arts program, this class is made possible through grants provided by ArtsWA, The Washington State Legislature, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
