Art Education for the Blind kicked off Art Beyond Sight Awareness at the New
York Stock Exchange.
Art Education for the Blind and partners rang NYSE Closing Bell on Friday,
October 7, 2005. Shown in the picture below are AEB staff and volunteers
with partners from the Sequa Corporation, the Museum of Modern Art, the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lower East Side Tenement Museum, The Jewish
Museum, American Folk Art Museum and Mayor’s Office for People with
Disabilities. AEB created a tactile image of NYSE façade to enable event
participants who are blind to experience this historic building. This
tactile image was presented to Robert Britz, NYSE President. For those of
you who have missed this event on CNBC, here is a glimpse.
We thank the NYSE Foundation which made this event possible as well as well
as many of AEB’s NYC direct service projects. For more about this event read

conference has been completely sold out and we regret not being able to
accept all interested parties. For those of you who were not able to take
part in the conference, there is good news:
1. On Monday, October 17, 2005 Art Education for the Blind will hold a FREE
telephone conference crash course titled Multi-modal Approaches to
Accessibility and Literacy. It includes several sessions that highlight
state-of-the-art research and pioneering educational programs that were the
focus of the October 14-15 international conference. The schedule of this
telephone course is on our website
http://www.artbeyondsight.org/change/aw-crashcourse.shtml
<http://www.artbeyondsight.org/change/aw-crashcourse.shtml> .
To access the Telephone Conference Crash Course:
Call (641) 985-8500; When asked by the recording, enter our conference code,
AEB2005 (i.e., 232-2005), followed by the # key.
So, grab a coffee and dial in. You can come in and out of this all-day
course as often as you like, but please don’t interrupt the guest speakers.
At the end of each session there will be an opportunity for you to ask
questions of these experts and share your own insight into the topics
discussed.
2. We hope to publish the proceedings of the conference and thus create a
lasting record for the scientific and research community.
