about us
In 1942 the Army Arts and Crafts Program was established to
increase morale and find artists to help with enhancing buildings
and grounds of Army facilities. The program was so successful that
the Army created the “Arts and Crafts Section of Special Services”
to “fulfill the natural human desire to create, provide opportunities
for self-expression serve old skills and develop new ones and assist
the entire recreation program through construction work,
publicity, and decoration.”
Today the Stuttgart Arts and Crafts Branch of Family and MWR is a dynamic and vibrant Arts
and Crafts program with two facilities, retail operations, and a robust catalog of skill developing
instructional classes. We offer activities that provide deployment stress relief and resiliency to
Family members and Soldiers returning from deployment. The Arts and Crafts program continues
to promote Soldier and Family morale, and fosters individual self-improvement and enriches the
community’s cultural quality of life by offering affordable and quality creative arts instruction and
hands-on assistance.
It is a pleasure to serve in the Stuttgart community and we hope that you will find your
time here artistically fulfilling and be able to say, “I’m glad I live here.”
How to use this book: At the beginning of the book you will find a Class List with the name of
