[NFBA-Tucson] Straight off the Canvas viewing October 23 at 1pm

[janna peyton]

Hi,

 

We have been out of town and I think I missed something coming home to about
150 e-mail messates.

 

Where is being shown?

 

What time?

 

This sounds like a great movie.  We just got home from Nashville and I
enjoyed it so much.  The leaves are changing colors and my husband helped me
with great audio descriptions.

 

Rolling along,

 

Janna

Straight off the Canvas

 

Attention to all; Mark your calendars for October 23 at 1 PM Arizona time:

 

You're all invited to join us in this perception shattering film that
captures the journey and passion of blind and visually impaired artists and
art teachers. 

Directed and produced by Anthony Saldana, this award winning film considers
the question: what is art when your eyes are closed? And does so from the
perspective of blind artists. Art is not just a visual medium. Blind people
can enjoy, create and teach art as a creative expression.

Whether you are blind or not, whether you are an artist or not this film
asks us to step out of our perspective and listen to those who are actually
drawing their own story by breaking boundaries in a world that has
traditionally kept them outside the cordoned off sections.

 

Please stay after  the screening for a discussion and be looking out for the
zoom link as we get closer to October 23.

 

For more information or questions please contact Abdallah at
