Programs

VSA offers a wide variety of programs in dozens of program sites located all over the state. All our programs are guided by the same three principles:

  • Experiences in the arts help people learn and grow. They increase educational achievement and lead to career success.
  • The arts are a universal and essential language. They challenge people to respond to the world, and to look beyond themselves. They celebrate the diversity of humanity by building bridges between people, across cultures, and through generations.
  • Participating in the arts helps people with disabilities be accepted and included in all aspects of life.
