<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>AnnaAnna,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>I told you that I am learning as fast as I can.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>Let me share with you Lesson Number
One:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>You can't say "tactile art" in front of
Linda...she does not want to exclude the sighted, or even imply it. Isn't this
genius?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>Lesson Number Two:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>It is called "Conceptual Art"...I think I've got
that right. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>Words mean things and this word "conceptual" is
so freeing to me, and inclusive, too!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>It is exciting and I have no idea how many are
receiving our e-mails...this list serve may think this Mainiac is just that! But
I feel this will spread, precisely because of no boundaries.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>Ahhh! "Art without Borders"!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>Here's to the Tipping Point forshared experience
in art and the message of Dr. Jernigan (in my little opinion...hey! "on the
barricades"...what if we decorate it???)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>Have a good evening-</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi Lynda, I have been reading yours and Patty's exchange and am very
excited to hear what you guys are cooking up. I would love to be included if I
could in the next program and the discussion with the organizers. I teach art
at the Colorado Center for the Blind. I am a tactile artist who is sighted. I
would love to take workshops from artists who are blind. That is a great
idea. </DIV>
<DIV> I am on my way out to purchase materials for our next
exhibit at the Denver Art Museum. We have a new Access Coordinator who is
wonderful and we are now making tactile as well as other accessible elements
for all the shows. We have been working together on this program since the
early 2000s but it seems like now it is really ready to take off. It helps a
great deal that the Denver Art Museum has placed enough value on the role of
the Access Coordinator to make it a full time job and not an additional part
to someone's job.</DIV>
<DIV> All the best wishes for your upcoming show. </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>Good Afternoon, Patty,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>So very nice to get your comments - and the
humor you have here made me smile and sit back and reflect awhile as i
listened to the note.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>I just send off the publicity blurbs for our
March show, and sent off the labeling to the Blind Association here in my
county - they will be doing the labeling for us. I am so excited to do this!
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>OH, I forgot to mention that the Touch Art
program is NOW beginning to think about and brainsorm the next round of
workshops. AND, we have the notion that the next time we can be doing BLIND
artists TEACHING blind folded sited persons how to make art the way WE DO
IT. HOW does that sound? I think it is very exciting - WE are
the TEACHERS, they are the LEARNERS perhaps. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>If you want to contact the program directors
who put that all together I will give you their email addresses by sending
an introductory note to them so you THREE can have communications. OK? They
can answer any questions you have since they are the founders and owners of
the Touch Art Program in Pittsburgh, PA. Perhaps something could be
done to connect what they do with NFB artists in the future in some way.
Just thinking out loud. lol</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>I had to laugh at the tactile art
description you gave here. I understand!!! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>My own art is made exactly as I made my art
for the past 30 plus years - I do not think "tactile" at all, but I
think "conceptual art." Since I lost my sight 7 years ago, this is
something I have encountered, that a blind artist would not be held to
the same standards as a sighted artist. That would put me in a very
tenuous position, as an artist. When I enter my work in
exhibitions it is almost never known by the juror that I have sight
loss. It is only after the work is on exhibition that anyone comes
to know that about the artist who made it. Blind artists must be held to
the same standards as any other artist who expects to be included in
high quality exhibitions, I believe.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>The event that occurred last week was a
culmination of a series of workshops taught by professional artists who
worked with blind people - the artist had to learn HOW blind people
learn things and how they envision concepts, and how to place or use the
tools and materials so that they are usable to the blind person.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>All of the people who took these workshops
were blind - and some of them were artists in other mediums than what
they did at the workshops, but most had no art background. They had the
desire to learn and as with all people, no sight is ever necessary to
use the imagination and intuition - which all artists must have to
produce their work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>I have no experience in putting together a
show that is blind accessable - I will be doing it in March for the
first time, at the Merrick Art Gallery, New Brighton, PA. It is a
two-person exhibition with my pottery and mixed media fiber works, and a
painter who is legally blind. We both use the Acrobat CCTV to produce
our work. I use it for doing my mixed media pieces, but I use only touch
for my pottery <A href="http://work.My">work.My</A> vision is very low,
considered to be "profound sight loss." The painter I am doing the show
will is at the opposite end of the spectrum, and is "legally
blind." </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>One problem for many people with a small
amount of vision is the colors of the gallery and the pedestals - white
and white. It is blinding to most people with sight loss. They need
strong contrast to "see" the space - and to walk in the space.
Since most shows have white pedestals, white walks, and wooden floors -
it is a nightmare to navigate for a blind person. I can only see strong
contrasts, and in such a light space, I have to have on special glasses
because that much light would give me severe headaches, and make me
unable to see anything at all. With contrasts, I do not even need to use
my white cane as I can navagate the space very well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>The show we are doing in March will have
braille labels along with text labels for the works. My pottery
would be considered tactile and could be seen by touch - my mixed media
works could not be touched at all - so they would hav to have a
description. We will have a short video that will run on a loop - it
will show the progression of some of the works from beginning to end -
and it will have voices behind the photos of the works that will be
describing the work and the process. But, it will not be an
instructional kind of description - it will be carefully written
essays or poems, that will be read. The essay will focus on the CONCEPT,
with mention of process in it. I will enclose one of my essays
that will accompany one of the pieces so you can get the idea I am
working with.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>If I can be of any further help, please
just ask me. This is a very exciting thing, TOUCH ART, isn't it!

<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>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

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.
