The Mountlake Terrace Arts Advisory Commission presents the Operation Art to Heal Exhibit at the Mountlake Terrace Library, 23300 58th Avenue W.

Artist Statement:
Pacific Northwest Veteran Assistance Program is a 501c3 Nonprofit. Our mission is to support our veteran brothers and sisters who have served our country and are in emotional need.

Our project Operation Art to Heal focuses on art and healing for veterans. Our goal is to assist veterans to combat veteran suicide, to help veterans heal from PTSD, depression and anxiety from war and military sexual trauma.

Operation Art to Heal helps veterans heal by having monthly art events that include painting, woodwork, drawing and arts and crafts. We have a safe place where veterans can talk to other veterans about their experiences.

We have art exhibits in the community to share the art that is created by veteran artists to help them heal from trauma. By displaying the art to the public it gives the community an opportunity to see an outlet that veterans use to heal.

In 2026 we are fortunate to be the recipient of the ArtsWA’s Wellness, Arts, and the Military (WAM) grant.
