About 2016 NATIONAL VETERANS CREATIVE ARTS FESTIVAL VOLUNTEERS

The G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center, Jackson, MS is proud to announce that we have been selected to host the 2016 National Veterans Creative Arts Festival (NVCAF) October 10-16, 2016 at Thalia Maria Hall & Jackson Marriott. The National Veterans Creative Arts Festival (NVCAF) is the celebration and grand finale stage and art show, which are the culmination of talent competitions in art, creative writing, dance, drama and music for Veterans treated in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) national health care system. Approximately 120 Veterans will exhibit their artwork or perform musical, dance, dramatic or original writing selections in a gala variety show. A professional orchestra will accompany the performance. All Veterans invited to participate are selected winners of year-long, national fine arts talent competitions in which thousands of Veterans enter, from VA medical facilities across the nation. This annual competition recognizes the progress and recovery made through that therapy, and raises the visibility of the creative achievements of our Nation’s Veterans after disease, disability or life crisis.
