Career Forums

For five years, VSA has partnered with the National Endowment for the Arts to fund statewide forums to address specific issues related to careers in the arts for people with disabilities. The statewide forums are coordinated through the National Arts and Disability Center in Los Angeles, California.

During the forums, VSA affiliates, in partnership with their state arts agencies, support the planning and implementation of activities that (1) assess the education and career needs of artists and arts administrators with disabilities; and (2) develop and implement strategies to overcome barriers and advance careers in the arts for individuals with disabilities.
