In partnership with the Orange County Department of Education, VSA Orange County's annual "Very Special Arts" Festival is held each spring to culminate year-round, school and community based arts program efforts, including hands-on workshops, demonstrations, performances, and a visual art exhibit, serving all ages and all disabilities. Although we are unable to gather in person this year, we hope that you will join us in celebrating the artistic accomplishments of individuals with disabilities by browsing the online art gallery, performance videos, and educational activities and workshops throughout this site.
