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.
