Welcome to CAVARTS

Your Veteran community for connecting, learning, and growing through the creative arts.

Created by Veterans, for Veterans, the Challenge America Veteran Arts Community (CAVARTS) is a national hub that brings together Veterans of various backgrounds who support one another as they connect, learn, and grow through the Arts.  


Membership to CAVARTS is FREE and exclusive to Veterans and service members!



We strive to reach every Veteran and service member with the power of the Arts. You are welcome here.
