VSA Orange County is now Orange County Arts and Disability!
We recognize that attitudes and language around disability have evolved and changed over the past three decades. This new name proudly claims the word “disability" and clearly identifies who we serve: the arts and disability community. Our new name also provides us the opportunity to continue working to normalize and celebrate disability as part of our greater Orange County arts community. Orange County Arts and Disability remains committed to its mission to provide arts, education, and cultural opportunities by, with, and for people with disabilities, making the arts accessible to people of all abilities.
About the logo
This logo was designed to encompass who we are as an organization. The two figures express joy, community, and inclusivity while celebrating the visual and performing arts. Purple was chosen because of its ties to creativity and reliability. The orange represents our connection to the broader Orange County arts community.
