Two Challenging Fraternities

​Of the many themes running through The Art of Alone books, coping with trauma proves so important because it can be so difficult.  This can be particularly true for two consistently isolated communities: those that are or have been incarcerated, and military veterans.

In light of this, forty percent of the resources of the Ceopalna Institute are devoted to these two groups, both in fostering artists and strengthening the networks of artists in these communities.  If you or someone you know either is a military veteran or has been or currently is incarcerated, and you think that participation or contribution in the Ceopalna Institute’s efforts would prove meaningful, please contact us at coordination@ceopalna.org.
