Veteran Artists Healing Act
Introduced
Introduced in House on Mar 5, 2026
Bill Intelligence
This program allows VA medical centers to directly purchase original artwork from veterans enrolled as patients for up to $2,500 per fiscal year. The artwork must focus on themes of recovery, nature, and service and be non-partisan and clinical in nature. The procurement program is not subject to the usual procurement regulations and the veterans are not required to be certified as a small business. The bill aims to facilitate the ability of medical centers to purchase artwork from veterans participating in creative arts therapy or the National Veterans Creative Arts Festival without the need for high-level approval.
