CreatiVets is a United States non-profit organization that teaches United States Armed Forces veterans to use visual arts and music as a means of addressing their unseen wounds of war. CreatiVets was co-founded by Richard Casper and Linda Tarrson in July 2013 in Chicago, Illinois, to help combat the staggering number of suicides by veterans who transition home from war. CreatiVets' mission is to empower wounded veterans to heal through the arts and music. It operates as a 501(c)(3) organization. To enhance its mission, CreatiVets has partnered with other organizations such as The Grand Ole Opry, Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, Big Machine Label Group, Music Has Value, Amazon Music, Wounded Warrior Project, Tee It Up For The Troops, Joni & Friends, Camp Southern Ground and Operation Stand Down. CreatiVets' art programs have been hosted by some of the top universities in the country including, School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), University of Southern California (USC), and Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). All of CreatiVets programs focus on storytelling through the arts.
