ABOUT US
In 1942
the Army Arts and Crafts Program was established to increase

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
