Access to the Arts ~ 1986 to today
The organization that has helped to make the arts more accessible to Minnesotans with disabilities has now been around for more than three decades. Though the name has changed over the years - first Very Special Arts Minnesota, then VSA arts of Minnesota and now VSA Minnesota - we have always stood for quality programs and services. Feel free to browse this site to learn how we create communities where people with disabilities can learn through, participate in and access the arts.

Minnesota Disability Mural Project
Nearly 800 people participated from the Twin Cities and St. Cloud metro areas. Over one thousand 1’ x 1’ panels were created during the summer of 2013 and exhibited at Gallery Saint Germain in St. Cloud and City Center in Minneapolis in October 2013.
