Artists With Disabilities Registry. . . . .

VSA arts plays an active role in the promotion and cultivation of emerging and established artists with disabilities. Through exhibitions, performances, galleries, and artists residencies, VSA arts is able to create opportunities for these artists and raise public awareness of their artistic contributions.

Artists who are interested in becoming involved with the VSA arts network are encouraged to join our Artists Registry.

VSA arts' Artists Registry is a computerized listing of images and information on more than 1,000 artist with disabilities. The Registry offers artists an opportunity  to raise their visibility and reach others interested in promoting their artwork.

Membership in the Artists Registry is free and open to all artists with disabilities. Artists who submit a registry form, biography, 5 slides of their artwork and sign the release form are accepted for listing in the Artists Registry.

Registry members receive announcements on upcoming VSA arts' events and 'The Pallette", our informative artists newsletter. Artists also have an opportunity to be included in VSA arts' online gallery that is open to visitors all over the world.

Members may participate in a list service that provides regular exchanges of information related to the visual arts. By building this online community, artist's are encouraged to develop a network of peer support.  

Please visit www.vsarts.org to register and view the online gallery. Click on VSA arts Artist Registry from the homepage.
