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.

Catching up with Nerissa Alford
Since my last update, our family has started putting down roots in the DC area. Both of my sons are driving and in college. My husband has since retired from active duty and started life as a civilian. We currently live in northern Virginia in a city setting, which has been different from living on Air Force bases outside of metropolitan areas. I’ve found my exploring spirit again and have enjoyed walks with my dog.
