Our Vision

VSA arts of California (formerly Very Special Arts California) works to ensure that people with disabilities have access to the arts and that schools, hospitals, elder care facilities, and business communities provide education, career training, and support in the art —through which children and adults with disabilties can improve their skills and enrich their lives.

 

Our Mission

VSA arts of California (formerly Very Special Arts California) serves children with special needs utilizing the Arts--while it works to create a society where people with disabilities learn through, participate in, and enjoy the Arts.
