In partnership with the Orange County Department of Education and VSA Orange County, the 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 throughout this site.
