“Line 4a, continued: number of in-house songwriting and guitar lessons, hosted at the creativets headquarters in nashville, tn with hit song writer jesse wayne taylor. Through this program, veterans can simply walk in to our facility, or log on virtually, where they are provided with lifesaving songwriting and music lessons without the need to wait for our next scheduled program. We also launched community programs hosted at our veteran center in nashville where local veterans could attend guitar, songwriting, or even vocal coaching for single day events. This allows us to make an impact on those veterans right here in our own local area. These have been incredibly successful and will continue to be offered throughout the 2023-2024 fiscal year. --- line 4b, continued: layer of the whole health process to our programs by improving the way that veterans care for their bodies. Creativets was also excited to partner with the glassell school of art at the museum of fine arts - houston for our first (of many) winter art programs. This 2-week program was modeled after our summer programs but offered in houston, tx where the winter weather was not so extreme. This class focused on sculpture and ceramics, but it also included elements of mixed media, woodworking, metal working, photography, and other mediums. The program was a huge success and gave us the opportunity to showcase our healing process with an entire new community of veterans and civilians. We have already scheduled a second program for the fiscal year of 2023-2024. As with songwriting, we also introduced community art programs in nashville, tn that ranged from collage and painting, to photography and leatherworking. These single day programs allow those local veterans with a busy schedule to have the opportunity to learn about art, meet other veterans and create something healing. Other art programs, such as astrophotography, virtual programs, and va partner programs were also maintained and expanded during 2022-2023. These will continue to offer entry and follow up opportunities for our veterans who are either on our waiting list or have already completed our other veteran art programs. All of this was made possible with the support of our generous donors and supporters. We exceeded our budgeted expenses, but due to this support, we were able to afford these additional programs and build on to our foundation programs for the future.”

THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, VETERANS CAN SIMPLY WALK IN TO OUR FACILITY, OR LOG ON VIRTUALLY, WHERE THEY ARE PROVIDED WITH LIFESAVING SONGWRITING AND MUSIC LESSONS WITHOUT THE NEED TO WAIT FOR OUR NEXT SCHEDULED PROGRAM. WE ALSO LAUNCHED COMMUNITY PROGRAMS HOSTED AT OUR VETERAN CENTER IN NASHVILLE WHERE LOCAL VETERANS COULD ATTEND GUITAR, SONGWRITING, OR EVEN VOCAL COACHING FOR SINGLE DAY EVENTS. THIS ALLOWS US TO MAKE AN IMPACT ON THOSE VETERANS RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN LOCAL AREA. THESE HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE OFFERED THROUGHOUT THE 2023-2024 FISCAL YEAR. --- LINE 4B, CONTINUED: LAYER OF THE WHOLE HEALTH PROCESS TO OUR PROGRAMS BY IMPROVING THE WAY THAT VETERANS CARE FOR THEIR BODIES. CREATIVETS WAS ALSO EXCITED TO PARTNER WITH THE GLASSELL SCHOOL OF ART AT THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS - HOUSTON FOR OUR FIRST (OF MANY) WINTER ART PROGRAMS. THIS 2-WEEK PROGRAM WAS MODELED AFTER OUR SUMMER PROGRAMS BUT OFFERED IN HOUSTON, TX WHERE THE WINTER WEATHER WAS NOT SO EXTREME. THIS CLASS FOCUSED ON SCULPTURE AND CERAMICS, BUT IT ALSO INCLUDED ELEMENTS OF MIXED MEDIA, WOODWORKING, METAL WORKING, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND OTHER MEDIUMS. THE PROGRAM WAS A HUGE SUCCESS AND GAVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE OUR HEALING PROCESS WITH AN ENTIRE NEW COMMUNITY OF VETERANS AND CIVILIANS. WE HAVE ALREADY SCHEDULED A SECOND PROGRAM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR OF 2023-2024. AS WITH SONGWRITING, WE ALSO INTRODUCED COMMUNITY ART PROGRAMS IN NASHVILLE, TN THAT RANGED FROM COLLAGE AND PAINTING, TO PHOTOGRAPHY AND LEATHERWORKING. THESE SINGLE DAY PROGRAMS ALLOW THOSE LOCAL VETERANS WITH A BUSY SCHEDULE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT ART, MEET OTHER VETERANS AND CREATE SOMETHING HEALING. OTHER ART PROGRAMS, SUCH AS ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY, VIRTUAL PROGRAMS, AND VA PARTNER PROGRAMS WERE ALSO MAINTAINED AND EXPANDED DURING 2022-2023. THESE WILL CONTINUE TO OFFER ENTRY AND FOLLOW UP OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR VETERANS WHO ARE EITHER ON OUR WAITING LIST OR HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED OUR OTHER VETERAN ART PROGRAMS. ALL OF THIS WAS MADE POSSIBLE WITH THE SUPPORT OF OUR GENEROUS DONORS AND SUPPORTERS. WE EXCEEDED OUR BUDGETED EXPENSES, BUT DUE TO THIS SUPPORT, WE WERE ABLE TO AFFORD THESE ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS AND BUILD ON TO OUR FOUNDATION PROGRAMS FOR THE FUTURE. |
