[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello List:

     I have cross-posted this to several lists. If any of you are dealing with issues involving art, below is a telephone conference that may help. Art Beyond Sight has been around for several years and has published several books that explain art concepts to the blind.

Regards,

Robert Jaquiss
