[Everett Gavel]

Hello,

Thought this grant opportunity below might be of
interest to some here.  I think this grant could be
used to teach children who are blind just as well as
any other.

components:
 1) the opportunity for students and their teachers to
experience
 exemplary works of art, in live form wherever
possible; 2) study
 of the art experienced, including the acquisition of
skills for
 practicing the art form where appropriate; 3) the
performance/
 making of art within the discipline(s) studied; and 4)
assess-
 ment of student learning according to national or
state arts
 education standards. Learning in the Arts projects may
take place
 in school- or community-based settings and should
focus on
 children and youth between 5 and 18.
