About
VSA arts and
the New York State Alliance for Arts Education
The VSA arts Comes to New York State website is
the result of a collaboration between the New York
State Alliance for Arts Education and VSA arts of
New York City.
Through this website, we seek to create a greater
awareness and understanding of the power of the
arts to change people’s lives, especially people
with disabilities.
Our organizations share common goals and promote
increased access to the arts for people with disabilities.
Together we offer educational residency programs
in schools and cultural organizations, provide professional
development training opportunities, and more.
