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

the class, the age range it’s for, the dates and the times. Some classes span multiple dates, so

you’ll want to make sure you can attend all the sessions. The rest of the book has the class

descriptions and prices. There are also fun facts, tips and other information scattered throughout

the book. We hope you enjoy reading and find this format informative and useful.
