The Workhouse Military in the Arts Initiative (WMAI) seeks to increase equity, access, and opportunities for the military community to participate in quality arts programming that is sensitive and responsive to their unique experiences. Participants engage in therapeutic art making, visual art courses, and health and wellness programs designed to support healing. WMAI programs are FREE and open to all US Military branches and reservists, regardless of duty status, as well as direct family members and caregivers.

All WMAI programming has been made possible through donations, fundraising, sponsorships, and grants. A special thank you to the Potomac Health Foundation, The National Endowment of the Arts, Sentara Cares, the Virginia Commission for the Arts, and our numerous donors who have enabled us to create these programs!
