Dear Lisa et. al.
The findings from my study of blind visitors studying painting at The Metropolitan Museum of Art has just been released in the Spring issue of the Harvard Educational Review. Please find it on the following URL:

http://her.hepg.org/content/48170l3472530554/?p=8e0e91018a8e4050a5bbee23f5d823aa&pi=9

Abstract:
In this study, Simon Hayhoe investigates the experiences of blind 
museum visitors in the context of the relationships between the artworks they learned about in museums, those they experienced when younger, and the social, cultural, and emotional influences of their museum 
experiences. The three case studies he presents support his hypothesis 
that, for blind visitors, proximity to works of art is at least as 
important as perceiving the art itself. This finding questions 
Gombrich's theory of the economy of vision and Jay's theory of scopics 
and supports the notion that exclusion from art in this context is more 
passive than active.

Best wishes and cheers,

Simon

PLYMOUTH CENTER FOR THE ARTS: A Different Vision 2013: A Tactile Art Show
Many people react with an expression of polite confusion when they hear about an art exhibit for people who cannot see.

Yet the call for art has gone out to both sighted and non-sighted artists all over the commonwealth -- to local high schools, art schools, schools for the blind, craft schools, art associations, councils on aging, veterans' programs, colleges, galleries, academies, museums and to 1,300 individual artists.

We're looking for art that can be touched.

We're looking for sculpture and pottery and weaving and paintings with texture.

We're looking for art that smells and art that makes sounds and music.

At the Plymouth Center for the Arts, the Plymouth Guild is hosting a show for everyone -- for blind, partially sighted and sighted artists and visitors.

.....

Go to the show and /see/ for yourself. And, please, touch the art!

Register your artwork from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, April 27 and 28, at Plymouth Center for the Arts.

The Opening Night Reception will be held at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 11, and the exhibit will run from May 12 to June 1. Regular Center hours will be extended till 8 each Thursday and Friday evening during the entire run of this show.

To learn more about this exhibit, go to www.plymouthguild.org <http://www.plymouthguild.org> and www.facebook.org/adifferentvision <http://www.facebook.org/adifferentvision>.
