TAMPA, FL – June 24, 2026 – The Veterans Art Center Tampa Bay (VACTB), a pillar of support for the military community, proudly celebrates 13 years of transforming lives through art therapy.
To mark this milestone and fuel the expansion of its critical 2027 mental health programs, VACTB is hosting a powerhouse fundraising event,
"Rhythm, Resilience, and Laughter," on Sunday, November 15, 2026, at the legendary Dallas Bull.
