<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Ann,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I think that what you do in Denver is so rich and
important. I have been to the museum there as well as to the history
museum. Very nice places.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4> I had never thought of it before, but I was
talking with some other artists last week and the idea came up and it seems so
exciting to me. And, another thought is team teaching by both a sighted
and a blind teacher - I think that would be very exciting and that some stunning
things could come from it. But, I am just speaking as an artist here, and I am
learning every day, too. I do think it is fantastic when blind and sighted
artists mingle together and share ideas about art and education. WE all benefit
from such discussions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>OH, I have no problem with calling anything
"tactile art." My pottery is certainly tactile art, too. It is made by
touch, and it is made to be experienced by touch. The fiber arts I do are
very fragile so I don't refer to them as tactile art, but they would be very
interesting to experiece via touch. I like to write my descriptions for my
art in the form of short essays, memoirs, and poetry so that the imagination can
expand even further, along with the experience of the object itself that
we touch. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=4>One other thing we blind artists
were discussing is that </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=4> we believe everything in a
museum should be available for us to touch to "see" it. One of the other
panel members told us about several examples of blind people who were able to
determine new things about some classical sculptures that had been overlooked
for many years by sighted curators of the objects. It's because we see
differently via our touch.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Well, it is very exciting to be learning new things
and I am sure doing that myself. Right now, I have to figure out how to
make the labels for my upcoming show in March. I want them to be text as well as
Braille - does anyone here have any experience with doing this, and if so, I am
in need of advice on how best to do it. This is a new experience for me.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I was also wondering how some of you have
experienced art shows - I mean the physical space of the galleries? As I
plan my own shows in the future, I want to think more about the physical space
and how I might make it blind friendly. How is it being done in other
places around the country? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>I told you that I am learning as fast as I can.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>Let me share with you Lesson Number
One:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>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 face=Georgia size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>Lesson Number Two:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>It is called "Conceptual Art"...I think I've
got that right. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>Words mean things and this word "conceptual" is
so freeing to me, and inclusive, too!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>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 face=Georgia size=4>Ahhh! "Art without Borders"!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>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>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 face=Arial size=4>Good Afternoon, Patty,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>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 face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>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 face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>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 face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>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 face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I had to laugh at the tactile art
description you gave here. I understand!!! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>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 face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>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 face=Arial size=4>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 face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>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 face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>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 face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>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 face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>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 face=Arial size=4>Hi Ann,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>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 face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>For the March show, I will be showing
pottery and mixed-media fibers (bead working). AS for how many

<DIV>This is really fantastic, both the article and your art!
Beautiful. I wish Be nice to get in touch with that piece.
Do you think the other artists might want to join us on

Congratulations. </DIV>
<DIV>Is there any chance I could listen to a recording of the

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Hello friends!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>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 face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>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. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>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 face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>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 face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>This is your PERSONAL invitation
from ME!!! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Thanks a million for your
long-time support of my art career.</FONT></DIV>
