VFW Post 1 in Denver, Colorado, has the special distinction of being the oldest Post in America. For more than 100 years, Post 1 has been dedicated to serving veterans – and they’ve remained determined to continue their unique programs during the pandemic.
In addition, they have continued operating the Veteran’s Arts Council (VAC), a nonprofit founded by Post 1 to provide community and opportunity for veterans. The VAC showcases and mentors veteran artists working in any medium. The VAC works with a select number of civilian artists as well who share a commitment to outreach and veteran integration with the community.
The VAC maintains the Post 1 Art Gallery, one of the largest galleries in the Art District on Santa Fe, and they host artist talks, art walks and other events. Their hope is to empower veterans to use their experiences to create art, see veterans connected in the community and enrich the lives of all citizens.
The VFW is proud to honor the work of Post 1. Thank you to every Post and veteran who, like Post 1, is committed to service and making a difference in their community.
