[Artbeyondsightmuseums] books National Braille Press

Sat Mar 6 16:22:49 UTC 2010

To All,

There was a wonderful exhibit called "Sight Unseen" this past year (May
2-August 29th) at the University of California/California Museum
of Photography, Curator Douglas McCulloh,  of about 81 international
photographers who are blind or have low vision.  There is a book produced
with statements by all of the featured artists, some explaining their
process.  http://www.cmp.ucr.edu/

I am hoping to do a program on this exhibit at the Muscarelle Museum of Art
at William and Mary College in Williamsburg, VA this year.

There is also several websites of blind photographers all over the world.

Just thought I would throw this into the conversation.
