VSA ARTS
Adrienne Arsht Center has teamed up with VSA arts of Florida, a not-for-profit organization serving the state of Florida, whose mission is to create a society where people with disabilities can learn through, participate in and enjoy the arts by providing performing arts experiences for students served by MDCPS's Division of Special Education. The program includes in-service training for performing arts facilitators to support their efforts in making the performing arts accessible to populations with special needs. Adrienne Arsht Center hosted the culmination of the 06-07 partnership, a final performance in the Studio Theater on Monday, May 7, 2007, which included approximately 180 students performing.
