We’re excited to share a new local partnership with WarFrets as part of their national Arts Program, bringing a creative and meaningful project to the Northern Adelaide Veterans’ and Families’ Wellbeing Hub. 🇦🇺
WarFretss has generously donated three guitar bodies, two custom builds and one Strat which will be hand‑painted by veterans right here at our Northern Adelaide hub. Once the artwork is complete, WarFretss will handle the full assembly before the finished guitars are shared with veteran hubs across Australia.

This project is part of a wider nationwide initiative involving veterans and currently serving members, and we’re grateful to everyone involved. It’s an opportunity for Northern Adelaide veterans and Families' Wellbeing Hub to express themselves creatively and contribute to something that will be seen and shared nationally—because recovery can be loud. 🎸🎖🪖

Keep an eye on our page for updates on when the artwork begins and to follow the journey as it unfolds. 👀🎨

WarFrets Arts programme updates.

Excited to partner with Northern Adelaide Veterans' and Families' Wellbeing Hub on a new project! 🎸 We’ve donated three guitar bodies—two custom builds and one Strat—for veterans to use as a canvas. After they’ve been hand-painted, we’ll handle the full assembly and ship the finished guitars to veteran hubs nationwide. Proud to be working with veterans, for veterans.

We have multiple guitar bodies out with our nation wide arts programme including currently serving members. We would like to extend our many thanks to them for thier help and together we can recover loudly.

Stay tuned too see results. 🎸🎖🪖🇦🇺
