OPERATION ART
ABOUT OPERATION ART
Operation ART (Artistry, Reconnection, Transformation) is a community arts program, aiming to provide an expressive outlet for emotional wellbeing in the lives of veterans and their families. We seek to connect veterans and their families with peers in their community through the power of art.
ART always tells a story. Operation ART classes are a way to express emotions without speaking. In 2017, The Joel Fund launched a program to bring ART classes to the Veterans in our community. We have since expanded the program to include Veteran immediate family members and now offer virtual classes across the U.S. Operation ART students have the opportunity to be introduced to new art skills or to continue developing new proficiencies in different ART classes.

The Joel Fund is committed to providing equal access and reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities. The Joel Fund’s immediate goal is the readily achievable integration of individuals with disabilities into its ongoing programs. We will continue to plan for improved access to public events, hiring opportunities, and facilities, and to increase awareness of access issues and practices among staff, board members, and participants.
