Kala is thrilled to be a 2025 Creative Forces Community Engagement grantee! These grants, which total more than $886,000, are awarded to 48 nonprofit organizations nationwide and support non-clinical, military-connected projects with the goals of advancing creative expression, building social connectedness, improving resilience, and supporting successful life transitions for our military veterans, their caregivers, and families. With this new funding, Kala’s Veterans Artist Residency is now open to veteran artists nationwide.
