A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
 The world is examined and understood in many different ways. One of the
ways we explore the world, expand understanding, and develop creativity is
through art. Art has many forms and every one brings with it a preconceived
notion of what the blind will be able to experience...READ MORE FROM
PRESIDENT RICCOBONO [2]

TACTILE ART AND TACTILE GRAPHICS INITIATIVES "Why would a blind person
want to go to an art museum?" This misconception, based on the low
expectation that "blind people can't do art," is just one of the barriers
that the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute is working to
break down...MORE ABOUT TACTILE ART INITIATIVES [3]

ART IS FOR EVERYONE

The NFB, in partnership with the American Action Fund, provides tactile art
kits to parents and teachers of blind students. We believe starting the
learning process as early as possible will help develop a child's
creativity and imagination...MORE ON TACTILE ART KITS [4]

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines blind people or their future. Every day we
raise the expectations of and for blind people, because low expectations
create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. We can live the lives
we want; blindness is not what holds us back. Please join us in our work by
becoming a member, attending an event, sharing this newsletter, or
supporting our programs.

life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will
never sit.
