Support WVSA ARTs connection (WVSA)
Donations to WVSA's General Fund support the programs most in need of funding. This includes the ARTiculate Employment Training Program and the ARTiculate Gallery.
WVSA's ARTiculate Employment Training and Outreach Program is a supplemental education service that provides access to multiple arts-infused educational and vocational experiences for youth, adults, and organizations.
As a vocational and life skills program, the ARTiculate Program assits youth with special needs in their transition to the young adult working world. Many students are Artist Apprentices working with a professional artist where they not only create artwork, they also learn entrepreneurial skills and sell their artwork in the ARTiculate Gallery.
WVSA's ARTiculate Gallery is a unique and accessible downtown retail venue providing creative environments, opportunities, and experiences connecting WVSA Artist Apprentices and established and aspiring artists with organizations and all art lovers.
The ARTiculate Gallery has six art exhibits a year of the ARTiculate Program's Artist Apprentices where the young people receive a commission on sales of their artwork.
