The Vet Art Project will be a part of the Incubator Series at the Chicago Cultural Center in February 2009. That means we'll have the whole month to build a supportive community, help veterans and their loved ones share their stories both orally and in writing in a small-group setting, and then area artists will work with the veterans to transform these stories into stagecraft, film, dance, music, and more. The project will culminate in a free public performance.
A load of thanks to Claire and Nate in the Department of Cultural Affairs!
More updates soon--the pilot project has begun!

Lisa, this is super news! As you can see from the results of our literature review – http://memblu.blogspot.com – the role of story telling and drama is playing a major and growing role in managing memory challenges and enjoying life in spite of these challenges. Thanks for your work! Don
