Kansas City - Blindness Isn't Black Appearance

‘Blindness Isn’t Black’ is the message being delivered at the Truman Medical Center in Kansas City through April 22, 2011. The exhibit is part of a VSA Missouri statewide of work by nine artists with disabilities.

In 2009 VSA Missouri published Blindness isn’t Black, an anthology of work by 23 Missouri artists and writers with disabilities. As with the anthology, this exhibit demonstrates that work by artists with disabilities is just as varied and rich as any other diverse group of artists.

The exhibit is on display and open to the public now through April 22 in the Health and Sciences Building of Truman Medical Center 2220 Holmes (across the street from the main hospital).

Blindcat and Mamacat took part in Celebration of Access and the Arts on April 6, 7, and 8. As you’ll see in the video below, it was an awesome event full of music and passion.


The events are free and open to the public thanks to funding from Arts KC, Truman Medical Center, Alphapointe Services for the Blind, The Whole Person, and Missouri Arts Council.

If you miss this one, the Blindness Isn’t Black tour travels to the Spiva Center – Joplin MO – in May.


Blessings
BlindCat & Mamacat
