Access to art: Two exhibits open Friday at Art Access gallery, 339 W. 
Pierpont Ave., Salt Lake City. The first, "Partners Redux," features the 
paintings and drawings of legally blind artist Vojko Rizvanovic, who 
uses magnifying scopes to paint, and his art teacher-mentor, Sam Wilson. 
The second, "Pippi Explores Place," contains drawings by Anne Watson 
that put a contemporary spin on kid-lit heroine Pippi Longstocking. Both 
shows will remain through Nov. 11.

One amazing thing I noticed in Japan, especially in Nagasaki — there are 
yellow concrete squares that when put together create a pathway of grids 
so that blind people can walk along the sidewalk safely. I couldn't 
imagine the United States would put in the effort and money to make an 
entire city's sidewalks blind-friendly."
