Montana veterans are showcasing their artistic progress and recovery through an annual competition, which features 13 categories of artwork created through the VA's rehabilitation therapy programs. The public can view these pieces on September 12 and 13 at the VA medical facilities, with finalists advancing to a national level competition where they will compete against other veterans from different VA facilities. The first-place winners at the national level will receive an invitation to attend the National Veterans Creative Arts Festival in Columbia, South Carolina in June 2026.
