Originally the Very Special Arts (VSA) of Minnesota, the non-profit organization was
founded in 1986 to provide artistic programs and services for children and adults
with disabilities. When founded, the organization was an affiliate of the Very
Special Arts program of the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, which was
originally founded in 1974 by Jean Kennedy Smith. VSA Minnesota's mission was "to
create a community where people with disabilities can learn through, participate in
and access the arts." In 2010, the organization dropped its affiliation with the
national network overseen by the John F. Kennedy Center, and changed its name to
Vision, Strength, Access (VSA) of Minnesota. VSA Minnesota closed in September 2019
due to diminishing financial resources and retirement of long-term leadership.

| | | Container note: "Hi Craig, Here is the video. There are 2 copies on the
reel. The 1st with student voice-overs + the second without. Because of
pronunciation, it was sometimes difficult to understand (at least to the
lay person) I think both versions stand on their own + that the kids +
their families will appreciate hearing from their own kids. I'm still
working with Lynn's class and will send you stuff asap. Thanks -Kris"
