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.
