A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
The world is examined and understood in many different ways. One of 
the ways we explore the world, expand understanding, and develop 
creativity is through art. Art has many forms and every one brings 
with it a preconceived notion of what the blind will be able to 
experience...<https://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=11125&qid=2242255>read

TACTILE ART AND TACTILE GRAPHICS INITIATIVES "Why would a blind 
person want to go to an art museum?" This misconception, based on the 
low expectation that "blind people can't do art," is just one of the 
barriers that the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute 
is working to break 
down...<https://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=11126&qid=2242255>more

ART IS FOR EVERYONE

The NFB, in partnership with the American Action Fund, provides 
tactile art kits to parents and  teachers of blind students. We

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the 
characteristic that defines blind people or their future. Every day 
we raise the expectations of and for blind people, because low 
expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. We 
can live the lives we want; blindness is not what holds us back. 
Please join us in our work by becoming a member, attending an event, 
sharing this newsletter, or supporting our programs.
