Vision/Strength/Access

That's the new definition for the acronym VSA (formerly Very Special Arts of California at Orange County). It was shared with several hundred people who attended its 33rd Annual Very Special Arts Festival at Westfield MainPlace in Santa Ana today. The exhibition continues through May 10 throughout the mall and is part of the Imagination Celebration. The opening ceremonies included comments by William M. Habermehl, Orange County's Superintendent of Schools, and performances by some very special students and adult artists. One of the latter, Gracie Oliver, was especially moving in her rendition of a new, original song, called "Happiness." "Happiness is..." is the theme of this year's VSA Festival, and there was plenty to behold at this event.
