The Vera Project, or VERA, is an all-ages, non-profit youth arts organization in Seattle, Washington. ==Overview== Based on the Vera club in Groningen, Netherlands. The name Vera comes from the phrase Veri Et Recti Amici, which is Latin meaning "true and sincere friends".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.vera-groningen.nl/about#en )〕 Seattle's VERA Project was founded in 2001 by James Keblas, Shannon Stewart (both studied at the University of Groningen in 1999), and Kate Becker (founder of the Old Redmond Firehouse), along with the help of many other community organizers and the City of Seattle. A good description of the project is a quote from its own website: 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://theveraproject.org/about/ )〕 :''Vera is an all-ages volunteer fueled music and arts venue.
