Ascend by Lynne Metsker
This is our newest addition at the office. I am pleased to support the efforts of VSA through their on-line art auctions. VSA provides access to lifelong learning and creative expression for people with disabilities in Indiana.
For over 30 years, VSA Indiana (VSAI) has been the statewide leader in serving people with disabilities through the arts. The organization was founded as “Arts Unlimiting” and since 1986 has been the state affiliate for VSA, an international program of The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Their name has changed through the years from Very Special Arts of Indiana, to VSA arts of Indiana, and in mid-2010 to VSA Indiana.
VSA fulfills it’s mission through programs that take place in schools, community centers, hospitals, and on-site in our adaptive art studios. As a statewide nonprofit, VSAI partners with people and organizations around the state to provide local access to accessible arts. Ongoing partnerships are currently based in Columbus, Evansville, Lebanon, Marion, Muncie, South Bend, and Terre Haute. Collectively these programs serve more than 10,000 people annually. Their primary focus is people with disabilities, however, we take an inclusive approach to implement programs and include a variety of people with and without disabilities.
