Connecting through creativity. Supporting wellness. Preventing Veteran suicide.
Heart in Hand is a quarterly series at Harvester Arts where Veterans, families, and community members create art together to build connection and support wellness.
Each event centers on the healing power of making, including painting, writing, sculpting, and crafting, because creating together fosters belonging, reduces isolation, and opens pathways to resilience.
Saturdays | 11 AM - 1 PM | Harvester Arts

Aug. 8, 2026 – Skill Share Studio
A featured artist leads a hands-on workshop — such as painting, collage, printmaking, poetry, or drumming — so everyone learns a new creative skill together.
