[Artists-making-art] exhibit

Tue Dec 20 02:42:10 UTC 2011

It is unlikely I'll be at the conference. Sadly, I haven't made the convention in years. All of my health stuff, and running the HPS Network etc. just sort of get in the way, both time wise and financially. However, if there's anything I could do remotely to help, I'd be interested. I'm so excited about the idea of promoting blind artists. I have a background in media - sure would make a great news story! Grin!

I would be happy to contribute drawing boards, paper and pens as one part of the art activities. Last year it seemed to work well to have the room open for people to drop in as they could. Maybe Amelia Dickerson would be willing to help with that? Amelia, are you on line now? Ann

Hi all, that would be an interesting idea! If we were to do a workshop, we would have to think about what we would want to teach blind children. What do you think?

A tactile exhibit would be awesome.  I'm going to be in Dallis, and would help put something together.  We should have some sort of workshop for children or something as well, maybe?  What do you think.

Is anyone interested in seeing if we can put together a tactile art exhibit in Dallas at the 2012 NFB Convention? I know I would like to show some new work. Anyone else care to ship art to Dallas for the week or as much time as we can arrange?  Ann

I was so excited to learn of a list for artists at NFB.  I am a retired Professor of Fine Arts and Humanities. I lost my sight 4 years ago.  I had been a painter/printmaker and after sight loss I began making pottery.  After four years of working on relearning to do it non-visually, I am finally back to exhibiting my work in juried exhibitions and just recently had my first museum one-person exhibition last Sept./Oct.

With the aid of a great cc tv, the Acrobat, I have figured out how to once again do encrusted beadworking, and I am extremely happy to be doing that again. I had just started to learn it before my sight loss. I had thought that I would never be able to do it again, but I am!
