>> Hi all,
>>
>> it's a pleasure to share that I was able to organize a Tactile
>> painting exhibition at my work place.? The exhibit had 16 artists with
>> vision loss displaying their artworks.? They had created their
>> paintings in last month during two workshops, the first one was all
>> about learning to use colors, various tactile material and execution
>> on canvas.? During the second one, they got to create their paintings
>> after coming up with interesting themes and ideas.? I was so anxious
>> how all this will turn out, but I am so glad the exhibition was a
>> grand success.? There were over 130 visitors, both sighted and
>> visually impaired who enjoyed the artworks. Local media came down to
>> cover the event. I am happy that this event was able to spread
>> awareness among the community about the abilities of visually impaired
>> in a country like India where disability is still considered a stigma.
>> I am sharing the description and Dropbox links to images of each
>> painting? below.
