25/40 Celebration
Exhibit: VSA 40th Anniversary–Championing the Arts
July 16 - August 2, 2015
Hall of States
Founded 40 years ago by Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith, VSA set out to ensure that people of all ages living with disabilities could learn through, participate in, and enjoy the arts. In this exhibit, eight people share their perspectives on the impact that the arts have had on their lives.
The Exhibit is free and open to the public during open hours of the Kennedy Center.
24/40 Celebration
Two monumental milestones. One awesome celebration.
25 years ago, the Americans with Disabilities Act extended civil rights to millions of Americans. 40 years ago, the Kennedy Center’s VSA opened its doors to provide arts and education opportunities for all people with disabilities. These are indeed powerful reasons to celebrate. And so we shall!
This is the 25/40 Celebration. Join us in DC this July—the Kennedy Center and the Smithsonian are offering a one-of-a-kind, cross-campus celebration. We are filling our stages, theaters, and public spaces with outstanding, free events to honor a culture of creativity, expression, and American heritage.
