National Veterans Creative Arts Festival (NVCAF)! This inspiring annual event, co-hosted by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the American Legion Auxiliary, celebrates the creativity and healing power of the arts for Veterans nationwide. Out of more than 7,000 entries from nearly 4,500 Veterans at 124 VA facilities, our local artists truly shined: 🏆 Paula Zielke took home FIRST PLACE in both Fiber Arts Pattern and Needlework Kit categories with “Ready to Go!” and “Dee Ceased Collage Quilt Kit.” 🥈 Craig Fisher earned SECOND PLACE in Drama for his comedic prose “I’m Not Done Yet.” 🥉 Frank L. Ritter Jr. received THIRD PLACE in Metal Work for his piece “Rebirth.” Christina Vasquez, our Veteran Art Show Coordinator, shared, “This is wonderful news, and it’s a reflection of the dedication and talents of the Veteran community. Their work deserves to be recognized and celebrated!” The creative arts are a vital part of VA’s rehabilitation programs, helping Veterans heal and thrive. First-place winners will be honored at the festival in Columbia, SC this June! We’re proud of all our Veteran artists—of the 150+ entries at our 2025 Dole VA Veteran Art Show, 49 placed locally and competed for NVCAF. Their achievements are a testament to the power of creativity, resilience, and community. Join us in congratulating Paula, Craig, Frank, and every Veteran who shared their art and story!

All facilities under the operational control of the VA Wichita Healthcare System are open and operating under normal business hours. Should that change due to extreme weather, the operational status of each facility will be updated on our website: https://www.va.gov/wichita-health-care/operating-status/

We will also post updates on our social media sites.

Extreme temperatures can be deadly. Dole VA is committed to working with our community partners to ensure all Veterans have access to respite from dangerous weather conditions.
When extreme weather occurs (temperatures are at or below 32 degrees), Veterans in need may check in with administrative staff in our emergency department to be provided assistance and resources.
