Connecting military spouses in the arts with each other and their communities
Military Spouse Fine Artists Network (MilspoFAN) is empowering military spouses in the fine arts - including dance, visual arts, fiction, theater, poetry, multimedia art, and more - to promote their work, tell their stories, and grow their artistic networks. The MilspoFAN blog started in 2016 and is run by a group of dedicated volunteers.

My year has been full of unexpected coincidences...the first of which took place in a Harris Teeter (grocery store) parking lot. I was walking to my car when I noticed a gold star on the back of a van. For anyone that doesn’t know the gold star indicates that an immediate family member has been killed in the line of duty. I thought to myself, I wish the person who owns this car would come out so I could express my sorrow for their loss.
