PATCH ARTS & CRAFTS CENTER


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.”
