Our Mission.
The mission of the Village Fine Arts Association is to promote the arts by providing fellowship, education, and opportunities that create an inclusive and vibrant community. We believe that the arts are a powerful tool for connection, collaboration, and transformation. Our goal is to make these opportunities accessible to all members of our community, regardless of background, ability, or financial situation.
About the VFAA & SHAC.
The VFAA is fully committed to ensuring equal access and participation for all people, regardless of their abilities. We are committed to treating all people in a way that allows them to maintain their dignity and independence. Inclusion is essential to what we do, and to art, fundamentally. Our programs are conducted in the Suzanne Haskew Art Center, the SHAC, which is a fully ADA compliant, accessible facility that fits our vision and values of artistic expression, being: open to all, regardless of age, abilities, and level of experience. All information on our programs will be provided in an accessible format on request, or with communication supports that consider a person’s specific needs. The SHAC was opened with people with disabilities specifically in mind and will continue to operate accordingly.
