Community Building Art Works (CBAW) is a Veteran service organization that builds healthy and connected communities through free online workshops led by professional artists. Veterans and civilians share creative expression, mutual understanding and support. Our mission is to make sure that no Veteran bears the burden of service alone. In partnership with Blue Star Families, CBAW offers writing workshops 2 Thursdays a month. Visit our website for a full up-to-date schedule.
