Polly coordinated workshop on May 22nd on inclusive arts education that drew an enthusiastic crowd of over 30 artists, arts educators, individuals and artists with disabilities, and family members to the exciting new River Arts District in Asheville, NC. The workshop, “Finding the Ability in Disability through Art”, was sponsored through Arts Access NC, and made possible by VSA South Carolina, the State Organization on Arts and Disability and through a Collaborative Innovative Grant from VSA International. W. Lavone Griffin, theater artist and inclusive arts education specialist with VSA South Carolina, led the workshop. Plans are afoot for a networking and brainstorming group of Asheville arts educators who want to be more inclusive.
