Hi everyone,

PROJECT ACCESS: A PROGRAM OF ART BEYOND SIGHT AND THE MAYOR’S OFFICE FOR 
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES April 9 Focus Group: Monday Afternoon, April 9 
 From 1 to 2:30 p.m. Hosted by The Bronx Independent Living Services, 
4419 Third Avenue, Bronx, NY People who are blind or visually impaired 
are invited to participate in a focus group on barriers to your 
enjoyment of cultural activities, and your suggestions on things that 
can be done to provide better access for you to such activities. The 
kinds of activities we hope to discuss in the focus group include 
theater and dance performances; visits to art, history and science 
museum; visits to zoos, botanical gardens and aquariums; and attendance 
at sports events, such as baseball games or hockey. Your opinions will 
be shared with leaders of arts and cultural organizations. Your names, 
however, will not be used – your comments will be completely anonymous. 
If you are willing to volunteer for this research project, we ask that 
you register in advance and take a short pre-focus-group survey. Also, 
you will be asked to sign a release form that allows Art Beyond Sight to 
share your comments – but NOT your names – with others via oral and 
written reports. To sign up (or if you have questions about this): Call 
Joan at (212) 334-8720 or send an email to 
coordinator at artbeyondsight.org. If you send an email, someone from Art 
Beyond Sight will get back to you with the pre-focus-group survey and a 
copy of the release form. Brett L. Eisenberg Executive Director Bronx
