excerpt

To the Organizations for VI Artists I've Just Found; A Letter of Grattitude
As an artist who's been legally blind from birth, I just wanted to say thank you for existing, and doing what you do. I've searched for inclusion in the art/artist communities all my life, but felt astranged and left aside because of my visual impairment frequently. Similarly getting a job involving the arts with a visual impairment has been an enormous hurtle, while for my whole life I felt a bit of an oddity and a contradiction- a visually impaired.. artist.

Bronte project
An Arts Council grant to the Bronte Society of more than £11,000 will allow a photographer to produce a series of artworks with help from youngsters.
The project involves Stanbury-based Simon Warner, a professional landscape photographer and video artist, who will be employed for the first two weeks of April to work with six visually impaired youngsters from the Bradford district.
They and their families will help create a walk-in camera obscura and produce large photographs of locations in and around the Parsonage Museum.
