RESOURCE CONNECTIONS

 

* Note This page contains several external hyperlinks. Once you click on a blue hyperlink (i.e., http://www.forexample.com), that document will load in the browser's window. You will then be browsing online and not on the ARTS WORK CD-ROM. If any of these links do not work, copy and paste link or program name into a search engine, such as Yahoo or Google.

 

This section contains resource suggestions to assist in transitions and transformation.  It is not comprehensive in any sense.  Rather, it is a compilation of suggestions from the varied contributors to the ARTS WORK Curricular Framework, focusing on web-based resources.  You can link directly to the websites and Email addresses listed by selecting “Control” and clicking your mouse.

 

A volume could and should be dedicated to fully annotating the many resources available in this growing field.  Due to space limitations, few individual artists are listed.  Information is categorized for ease of use, trying both to avoid duplication and realizing that some programs, services, and resources are cross-categorical.  Many programs have additional services and local programs not listed.  The limited information presented here is offered to provide basic contact information.  This information is up-to-date at the time of publication.  With the changing nature of programs, services, and the Internet, we urge you to use this information to maintain your own updated resource list.  VSA arts and its affiliates may be able to assist in tracking down specific information and local programs and services.

 

The Arts Work Curricular Framework is a companion piece to Putting Creativity to Work (VSA arts, 2000) and the ARTiculate Employment Training Program Manual (WVSA arts connection, 2002).  Many useful resources can be found in these publications.  Putting Creativity to Work includes extensive appendices with contact information on General Arts Organizations; Arts-Related Associations and Unions; Arts-Related Journals, Trades, and Other Publications; Resources for People with Disabilities in the Arts; Internship Opportunities in the Arts; Funding Resources for Artists; State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies; State Technology Assistance Projects; State Client Assistance Programs and Protection and Advocacy Agencies for People with Disabilities; and Job Search Resources.  A Bibliography on arts and career development is also included.  The ARTiculate Manual includes a very useful bibliography on career development inventories as well as self-determination and team approaches and resource lists of relevant arts, education, employment, and disability agencies and funding references.


Accessible Studio Arts Programs

(The following are self-identified programs that provide part or full-time studio arts programs for individuals with disabilities to assist in locating programs with like interests.  The curriculum, content, and extent of the programs vary greatly.  Some offer primarily visual or performing arts instruction while others are multidisciplinary. Settings range from community arts centers to schools.  Some also offer a variety of other instructional opportunities; all offer some type of ongoing studio arts programming.  Distinctions between studio arts programs and other art and disability programs may be small or non-existent.)
