ART OVER DESTRUCTION

Empowering veterans and youth through transformative art therapy and community outreach.

Art Over Destruction (AOD) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit led by a service-disabled veteran. We deliver after-school art classes, pop-up “Art Stars” workshops for veterans, and corporate team-building events—using creativity to heal, connect, and inspire.

• After-School Art Stars: Hands-on classes for local youth (ages 6–18), building confidence and creative skills.
• Warrior Art Stars Workshops: Two-hour sessions at VA centers, helping veterans process trauma through painting and mixed media.
• Corporate Art Stars Team-Builds: High-energy, art-led events that boost morale and spark innovation.

We measure impact by lives touched—200 + participants last quarter—and by the powerful stories of transformation art creates in our community.
