SUPPORT NCAG AT OMAHA GIVES 2018 CAMPAIGN !
Omaha Gives 2018 campaign starts midnight May 23rd! Please consider supporting our mission to help veterans seeking new careers in the creative arts.
Our primary goal is to use the expressive and healing powers of art making with veterans and their family members, and ultimately transform their lives through the power of art.
In addition to therapeutic art making, NCAG also provides training in art and business-of-art education to motivated military veteran artists in order that they may successfully pursue new careers in the fine arts as artists, teachers, or administrators as they reintegrate into civilian society. NCAG is a Better Business Bureau approved 501c3 charity.
