Veterans participate in U of L art therapy program

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Veterans from the Fort Knox Warrior Transition Battalion channeled their artistic abilities today.

The "Combat Paper Project" is an art therapy project aimed at helping soldiers recover from the painful experiences while serving overseas.

Old uniforms are cut up and turned into handmade paper, which then serves as the canvas for the art work.

The traveling art project was started by an Iraq War veteran.

It came to U of L as part of a grant from the Department of Veteran's Affairs.
