VSA Tennessee, established in 2001, is part of an important history of equality and opportunity in the arts. In keeping with the mission of the international non-profit that is their namesake, they provide people with disabilities opportunities to participate in, learn through and enjoy the arts. This was Jean Kennedy Smith’s vision when she founded VSA arts in 1974, and today, they are still setting the stage for everyone’s artistic interests and abilities. In partnership with and in support of young artists, parents and educators, they work to ensure there are resources, tools and opportunities for arts programming in schools and communities statewide.
VSA Tennessee is made possible in part through funding from VSA arts under an award from the U.S. Department of Education and generous contributions from sponsors and volunteers. All donations—money, time or in kind—allow them to offer and/or support an array of arts education programs and events. From music and theater to visual arts and dance, they strive to open the wide-ranging world of the arts to Tennessee students at school and in the community.
