BlindCat at the Smithsonian!

Yes, you read that correctly. LOL We've had the date on the calendar (see side bar to the right) but have just been handed the official press release regarding BlindCat's participation.


VSA, the international organization on arts and disability, has selected Michael Blindcat McIntire to perform at the VSA Start with the Arts Festival May 19-22, 2011, in Washington, D.C. This family-friendly arts event for children of all ages and abilities showcases the power of imagination and the importance of integrating the arts into learning.

VSA, the international organization on arts and disability, was founded more than 35 years ago by Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith to provide arts and education opportunities for people with disabilities and increase access to the arts for all. With 52 international affiliates and a network of nationwide affiliates, VSA is changing perceptions about people with disabilities around the world. Each year, 7 million people of all ages and abilities participate in VSA programs, which cover all artistic genres. VSA is an affiliate of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

We are so proud to be a part of this amazing event to further educating everyone on how important the arts, in any form, are to our young people's education.
