Helen Keller Art Show displays creativity, talent of visually impared

The splatter of paint on canvas, the crunch of aluminum foil, the hard 
scrapes of graphite across paper with the soft crumble of pastels, the 
sweet smell of glue and the wet squish of pasting pieces of collage — 
the experience of expression goes beyond just sight.

Art is a sensory expression of an intellect and emotions; it percolates 
through life experience into a statement.

BLIND AMBITION: Artist who lost sight, hearing teaches Dreyfoos students
The moment it happened was when one student asked, “What if…?”
What if there were such a thing like a fine art museum where you could 
touch all the pieces? Where looking at the exhibits wasn’t nearly as 
important as interacting with them?
Where you could go room to room and let the artists speak through their 
work and make your literally feel what they felt? Touch it. Smell it. 
Hear it. Taste it, even.
