The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

He has an associate?s degree in graphic arts from Cuyahoga Community College. He was recently awarded a certificate of participation for the American Printing House of the Blind Insight Art show 2014. Reflecting on his own work, Owen says: ?I?ve always had the passion and desire to paint things from my heart. I have been encouraged and inspired to pursue my love of expression and painting and no matter the obstacles I come across I try to pursue them to the best of my abilities. My artwork is meant to inspire and encourage those who truly have a passion for art and appreciation of the artwork from the heart and soul.? His artwork has been on display at local art shows, galleries, libraries, and fund raisers. He?s donated paintings to the Cleveland Sight Center, NFB Cleveland Chapter, The Lions Club, American Printing House for the Blind, and Beck Center for the Arts. His work is on display in the Music & Dance Building.

Duarte began drawing at age 6, creating art from found objects such as rice, glue, shoe polish and cardboard, and he continues to work primarily in mixed media. His works have been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the United States and in Central Ohio at the Frank Hale Cultural Center at The Ohio State University, and the William Thomas Gallery. He is a participating artist in Interrupted Life: Incarcerated Mothers in the United States, a traveling public art exhibition support by the Ford Foundation. Duarte has dedicated his talents to helping young people through countless programs including CAPACITY, the Short Stop Youth Center, the King Arts Complex, and Ohio Alliance for Arts Education's Artists-in-Schools program, GCAC's Children of the Future, Ebony Boys, Art Safe and Very Special Arts Ohio.

You will find the agenda for the week end attached and in the body of this
message. Let's go build the federation.

The Blind Leading the Blind into the Future
 Leading to Equality

DoubleTree by Hilton Columbus - Worthington
175 Hutchinson Ave. Columbus, Ohio 43235

NFB Pledge
I pledge to participate actively in the efforts of the National Federation
of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind;
to support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to abide by its
constitution.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
