As part of the study, we are looking for</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> volunteers to take part in some online research. We need participants who are blind, partially-blind, low-vision or sighted; who are art lovers, or who have no interest in art at all, </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">or who fall somewhere in between. The study takes approximately 1 hour, and we are able to offer a thank you voucher of $10.</span></div><div class="elementToProof" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Corbel, Skia, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><p style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(36, 36, 36);"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: "Segoe UI", sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><br class="ContentPasted0"><span class="ContentPasted0" style="margin: 0px; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Corbel, Skia, sans-serif;">This is a collaborative UK/US project, funded by the Arts and</span><span class="ContentPasted0" style="margin: 0px; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Corbel, Skia, sans-serif;"> Humanities Research Council, run by Alison Eardley (University of Westminster), in p</span><span class="ContentPasted0" style="margin: 0px; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Corbel, Skia, sans-serif;">artnership with the National Portrait Gallery (US), Access Smithsonian (US), the Watts Gallery and Artists Village (UK), VocalEyes (UK), Smartify, </span><span class="ContentPasted0" style="margin: 0px; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Corbel, Skia, sans-serif;">Royal Holloway, University of London and t</span><span class="ContentPasted0" style="margin: 0px; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Corbel, Skia, sans-serif;">he University of Westminster. </span><br class="ContentPasted0"></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(36, 36, 36);"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: "Segoe UI", sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Corbel, Skia, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We would be hugely grateful if you were able to participate, as well as pass this </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Corbel, Skia, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">along to anyone else in your network. </span></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(36, 36, 36);"><span style="color: black; font-family: Corbel, Skia, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(36, 36, 36);"><span style="color: black; font-family: Corbel, Skia, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Please use this anonymous link to participate, or for more information (including contact information for the researchers):</span></p><p style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(36, 36, 36);"><span class="ContentPasted0" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Corbel, Skia, sans-serif; margin: 0px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(36, 36, 36);"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px; color: black;"><a href="https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwestminsterpsych.az1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_3w2anLSLh2SPtae&data=05%7C01%7Cjonesve%40si.edu%7C96d1cb8974b749ddaef508db1a5577aa%7C989b5e2a14e44efe93b78cdd5fc5d11c%7C0%7C0%7C638132726601754243%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=eE399TIIwpBdDuzN5Xzhw7Rm1fQwTHkbr0xB0lA9C9o%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="Verified" shash="uKcmm1H+InnRL3NabrT4WBALAf7Xga51EU5XV959o3WnOZS8puof26VxhWhfIyw0yV/kvSZcWOhy7zucMwzK5tkSYBNYEMH8RKtDilVawS1D2qIf1ILwFQd46Kzjh1PkI83y26p5LxB0biOLPw//HtMU3mk9yuEVdmGsLcF5KmI=" title="Original URL: https://westminsterpsych.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3w2anLSLh2SPtae.
