~ * About Awareness Month
Art Beyond Sight Awareness Month * ~

A time when museums, schools, service agencies for the blind, and
sighted and blind art lovers around the world unite to bring attention
to the need for and benefits of making art education, art-making
activities and visual culture accessible to children and adults who are
visually impaired.

It is a time we celebrate the contributions of blind and visually
impaired artists, and learn from them about multi-modal approaches to
learning for all.

When AEB established Art Beyond Sight Awareness Week/Month in 2003, it
lasted one week and had about 35 participants.

Last year, AEB extended it to two weeks, and had 71 organizations
working together toward our common goal.

Now, at the urging of many of last year's participants, we've made
it a month and are delighted to have passed our goal of 100
participants.
