Call for Artists

Recently we posted notice of VSA's art competition sponsored by Volkswagen. This is just in on Shared Visions 2006, the second annual juried art exhibit by artists who are blind or legally
blind.

The topic at Rolling Rains is often Universal Design for persons of various differing abilities. Here is a chance to participate in experiencing design by people with a range of visual abilities.

Calling all Artists! Submit your artwork for display at the Eye Care
Center of the Southern California College of Optometry. Shared Visions 2006,
the second annual juried art exhibit by artists who are blind or legally
blind.

Works selected will be exhibited in the Eye Care Center for a period of
one year. Artists may also offer their work for sale.
