Arts in the Armed Forces, Inc. (AITAF) was a non-profit based in Brooklyn, New York that brings arts programming to active-duty service members, veterans, military support staff of the United States and their families around the world free of charge.[1]
The organization was founded by actors Adam Driver and Joanne Tucker in 2006.[2][3] The non-profit became an official incorporation in 2008.
AITAF served all branches of the military at US installations domestically and abroad. They chose content that features diverse themes, ages, ethnicities and experiences.[1] Following each of AITAF’s events, the artists would interact with the audience through a question and answer session.[1]
AITAF’s mission was to "honor and enrich the lives of the US military community by offering powerful shared experiences in theater and film. Featuring professional artists and contemporary American content, creating space for meaningful dialogue, igniting connection and deepening our capacity for understanding around our common humanity."[1]
