BlindArt unveils an exciting new feature on its website to make your art-world bigger and better connected

Post events, exhibitions, web-links and CHAT

This month sees the launch of an interactive Forum on BlindArt website where people can read, write about and discuss issues relating to art, visual impairment and disability. The Forum will help raise public awareness of inclusive events and the issues surrounding inclusive arts.

The BlindArt Forum aims are:

To create a promotional tool for artists to show their works
To provide a space for art organizations to promote their events
To establish an interactive resource for the visually impaired community on creating and accessing art

Posting on BlindArt Forum will reach a wide public from all over the world. BlindArt’s website receives an average of 20,000 visitors and 105,000 hits per month. The vast majority of visitors are from Europe and North America, followed by Asia, and a handful of visitors each month from Oceania, Africa and South America.

BlindArt Forum is set to become the on-line interactive social network for the public providing an accessible resource archive on inclusive arts, and a place to express views and experiences and discuss and engage in debate with others.

BlindArt, an innovative, all-inclusive charity founded in 2004, is behind “Touching Art Touching You”. BlindArt has gained worldwide recognition for promoting contemporary works of art by both visually impaired and sighted artists, showcasing them side-by-side and challenging the public to tell the difference. BlindArt exhibitions aim to dispel the notion that sight is essential to creating or enjoying exceptional art. The overall message of BlindArt is artistic excellence regardless of sensory ability.

The BlindArt Forum has been made possible with the kind support of The Clothworkers’ Foundation
