VSA arts of Texas brings multi-disciplinary and inclusive arts education to children and young adults in locations ranging from Fort Worth to El Paso; Austin to Beaumont. We partner with over 75 educational agencies statewide to activate the power of the arts as a tool for learning for every Texas child, every day. Through both the Arts Alive! and the Accessible Arts programs, thousands of children and young adults with learning, emotional, and cognitive challenges have experienced an increase in self-esteem, concentration, cooperation, communication, and academic readiness through arts-rich classroom activities and expressive arts therapies.
The Arts Alive! model incorporates intensive professional development for educators and teaching artists, teaching artist placements in the classroom, and in-school performances and arts-rich field trips. Learn more about the Arts Alive program.
Accessible Arts, a sponsored program of VSA arts of Texas, is a comprehensive educational effort that makes available the dynamic methods and applications of therapeutic and expressive arts through community and school based programs, expressive arts therapist placements, teacher training and mentorship, and family/parent involvement activities.
