Artists with disabilities working in two-dimensional visual media (watercolors, oils, acrylics, gouache, photography, etc.) or three-dimensional hanging works are invited to submit work for consideration rotating art exhibits and shows for the 2007 calendar year.

VSA arts of Virginia (VSAVA) works to ensure adults, youth and children with disabilities and others with limited arts access to express themselves through visual, literary and performing arts. Our programs assist participants to develop confidence, inspire creativity and provide opportunities to use their imaginations in creative and nurturing settings. Through theatre, music, visual and literary arts, arts exhibitions and education programming, VSAVA– Richmond showcases the talents and strengths of each participant and promotes a greater awareness of the benefits of the arts in the lives of all people.

VSAVA’s statewide Exhibitions Program, is open to adults, youth and children and offers local and regional artists with disabilities and others with limited arts access ways to showcase their work for sale while learning how to professionally submit art for consideration in juried and curated art exhibitions. These spaces are available to VSA of Virginia statewide districts and the general public in the Central Virginia area. We have 3 venues for adults and are actively looking to add more.
