LATITUDE SHOWS OFF ITS CREATIVE SIDE
The folks at Latitude, a program for people with
disabilities, have created an art exhibit that highlights
some of their work.
Creativity 101: Real Art by Real People is on display at
ArtsPlace Gallery, 161 North Mill Street, through Sept. 4.
The exhibit is an "informal studio view" of what you might
see if you walked into Latitude on any given day, Latitude
co-director Bruce Burris said.
Diverse works by about 10 artists are represented. They
include drawings by Beverly Baker; works by Jessie Dunahoo,
a blind and deaf artist who creates installations with sewn
plastic bags; some beautifully quirky hand-bound books; and
a visual life history created by Ralph Reynolds. Also on
display is a series of photographs called Group Home, some
of which were culled from a project in which residents were
given disposable cameras and asked to document their lives
during a 24-hour period.

the program, call (859) 806-0195.

For more experiential museums, the recently reopened Tactile
Museum gives the blind a hands-on experience of ancient
Greek art, while virtual reality technology at the Hellenic
Cosmos can take you back to ancient Greece in a time machine
