VSA Florida exhibition to be held at the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens in Duval County
VSA Florida received community funding from the Gannett Foundation for Hand ‘n Hand, an Artist Residency program. This residency provided an opportunity for a unique visual art experience. The Hand ‘n Hand residency included a teaching artist working with students in an ESE or inclusive classrooms for a total of 9 hours (one hour a week for 9 weeks). The teaching artist provided a sequential arts experience that built art skills, allowed for creative expression and connected with classroom learning. The residency concludes with 2 one hour sessions (weeks 8 & 9) with an adult artist with disabilities creating a collaborative piece of art. The opportunity enabled students to explore the creative process in a group project. In addition, it showcased the teaching artist’s inclusion strategies for the classroom teacher and the artist with disabilities was a role model for the students.
