<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>Hi Linda,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>Patty Estes in Maine here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>I am working with a woman from the Iris Center
for the Blind to help to make our state museum and a couple of our more famous
art museums (Portland Art Museum and the Farnsworth Museum with the Wyeth
Center) accessible to the blind through audio description. We are just starting
and I am wondering if you could point me to a process or standard that is used
successfully.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>Also, we have had an art exhibit by disabled
people, but I am wondering if an art exhibit by blind artists needs/should/would
be expected to be all tactile entries? Were there any visual pieces with
description at the event you just participated in?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>This is so wonderful-thank you for opening doors
for the rest of us!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>Hi Ann,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>A film was made during the course of these
workshops and it was launched at the seminar last Thursday afternoon. It
was a two hour program, with an enormous attendance of blind and sighted
people. There were many conversations happening between the two groups
and lots of mingling and mixing - not a situation where blind people are here,
and sighted people are there, and the two never really mix which is often the
case. It was a most wonderful day, celebrating an entire series of interactive
workshops since last summer. Discussions are now going on for developing the
next round of programming and grant funding. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>For the March show, I will be showing pottery and
mixed-media fibers (bead working). AS for how many pieces:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>Hello friends!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>I am so excited to be able to share this
beautiful story with you today. It is in the today's issue of the
Pittsburgh Tribune Review - you can read the story, and click on the
photos. You'll find ME there, with my art work. The photo was taken after
the Touch Art Seminar on Thursday, at the Pittsburgh Center for the
Arts. I was one of the four panelists at the seminar - and there was
a large audience in attendance. It was such a fulfilling and educational
day for all of us!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>My piece I am with in the photo in today's
Tribune Review is: <FONT color=#800000><STRONG><EM> The Dragon's
Healing Breastplate. <FONT color=#000000>It's</FONT>
</EM></STRONG></FONT> on display at the Pittsburgh Center for the
Arts, just two more days, as part of The New Collective exhibition.

<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>This particular art work is so
special to me because it's creation became my pathway to
the healing of my personal and professional life after I suffered
profound sight loss in 2007. I had started work on this piece
just prior to my sight loss. The piece became the driving force that
propelled me to wholeness. I was determined to be the ARTIST I had been my
entire life, and I struggled through the creation of this work for nearly
6 (SIX) years before I was able to complete it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>You will be able to see this work, and many
other of my newest pieces in an upcoming exhibition at the Merrick Art
Gallery, New Brighton, PA. I'll be doing a 2 person show with Suzanne
Gibson. The opening will be <STRONG><U><FONT color=#008000>Friday
night, March 7th - from 6 - 9 pm.</FONT></U></STRONG> It will be a Wine
and Cheese reception and I would be so pleased if you would mark your
calendar and come see the new works in pottery and mixed-media bead
working I have done especially for this exhibition. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>This is your PERSONAL invitation from ME!!!
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>Thanks a million for your long-time support
of my art career.</FONT></DIV>
