Commonwealth Eye Care Associates (CECA) invites blind and visually 
impaired artists from Virginia to participate in the first annual CECA 
/Insight/ Art Exhibit displaying paintings, drawings, sculptures, and 
other mixed media.
Selected artwork will be displayed in the CECA reception area from 
August 2 through August 16, 2012. Artists interested in submitting their 
work need to apply by filling out an application. Categories include 
painting, photography, sculpture, drawings and mixed media. Each 
participate may enter up to four pieces in each category. Entries will 
be accepted now through June 1, 2012.
/Insight/ artwork is selected on the basis of originality of concept, 
expressive use of media, artistic excellence, and the ability of the 
piece to inspire dialogue about the role of vision in the creative process.
The CECA /Insight/ Art Exhibit will celebrate the artistic achievements 
of blind and visually impaired artists who are inspired to create a 
visual realm, focusing on their artistic abilities and talents rather 
than their disabilities. The exhibit will educate the public about eye 
diseases, visual impairment and vision rehabilitation. An open house is 
scheduled for August. Selected artwork will be sold during a silent 
auction and all proceeds will go to charity. Selected artists will share 
personal stories of their visual impairment and how they express their 
perspective through art.
