VSA arts of Maine is part of the VSA arts international
network, promoting education and lifelong learning opportunities in the
arts for people with disabilities. Founded in 1974 by Ambassador Jean
Kennedy Smith, VSA arts is an affiliate of the John F.
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Formerly
named Very Special Arts, VSA arts changed its name in 1999, eliminating
the use of the word "special" to honor the progress made by members of
the disability community since the organization's inception. The
letters now reflect the Vision
of an inclusive community, Strength
in shared resources and Artistic
expression that unites us all.
