Our youth programs continue to grow! Keep an eye here for updates. Out North administers inclusive arts programs for youth with and without disabilites with support from VSA arts, Rasmuson Foundation, Anchorage School District, and the Municipality of Anchorage Arts & Culture Foundaiton.


VSA arts programming and initiatives are guided by four essential principles:

  • Every young person with a disability deserves access to high quality arts learning experiences.

  • All artists in schools and art educators should be prepared to include students with disabilities in their instruction.

  • All children, youth, and adults with disabilities should have complete access to cultural facilities and activities.

  • All individuals with disabilities who aspire to careers in the arts should have the opportunity to develop appropriate skills.

Inclusion teaches us that all means all. Everybody. No exceptions. The arts invite people to leave familiar territory, to explore new answers and seek new questions. The arts offer a means to self-expression, communication, and independence. By learning through the arts, students become lifelong learners, experiencing the joy of discovery and exploration, and the value of each other's ideas.

VSA arts is committed to driving change - changing perceptions and practice, classroom by classroom, community by community, and ultimately society.
