Community Events The Community Events Program at VSA arts of Georgia began in 1974 as Hospital Audiences (later known as Special Audiences). At that time the focus of the program was providing arts experiences to long term patients. Today the program facilitates the donation and distribution of more than $2.1 million worth of tickets from more than 125 cultural, arts and popular events venues to more than 200 non-profit human service agencies around the state. The majority of these agencies serve the ongoing needs of people with disabilities and/or those with low income. The program maintains a printed guidebook of year round, ongoing events. This information is also available in alternative formats. One time and special events are announced on a voice hotline that is updated weekly and through a series of emails, fax blasts and regular interactive calendar maintained on our website. There is an annual administrative fee for each agency, sliding scale, based on the agency’s annual budget.
StageHandsThe StageHands program is designed to give arts and entertainment venue partners “one stop” access to the highest quality ASL interpreters available in Georgia at an affordable price. This ensures that patrons and potential patrons who are culturally deaf have access to quality sign language interpretation services for arts and cultural events.
ResidenciesVSA arts of Georgia offers arts residencies in school, after-school, and community settings including facilities serving the needs of at risk youth and residences for seniors. These residencies are designed to meet the unique needs of the educators and attendees in each location. VSA arts of Georgia teaching artists are required to attend our Summer Institute so that they are up to date in best practices in total inclusion and least intervention teaching techniques. Many of our teaching artists have disabilities and therefore model career possibilities for many students with disabilities or special needs.
