BIG NEWS! Vets in the Arts receives Creative Forces Grant from NEA!

Vets in the Arts received the Creative Forces Grant awarded by the Mid-America Arts Alliance through the Nation Endowment for the Arts for 2025! This grant is to support the full production of the original musical "Standard Issue" set to perform at the Marion Cultural & Civic Center in June, 2025. This $25,000 grant will help to pay all of the costs associated with the production. It's goal is to recruit, train, and entertain as many Military Veterans in the performing arts space as possible.

Vets in the Arts currently has a casting call for the workshop process and full production casting needs (More information: https://www.vetsinthearts.org/). Please help spread the word to all Southern Illinois Veterans to come out and be a part of the process. We are looking for on-stage performers as well as back-stage volunteers and crew. For more information or to ask any questions about the casting call, please call/text 618-889-6500 or email: info@vetsinthearts.org
