Columbia, SC – Visually impaired/blind K-12 students from across the state will soon have their artwork on display at the South Carolina State Library’s Talking Book Services Library. According to Pamela Davenport, “The idea to display student artwork was a result of conversations with the South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind and will promote and educate the public about artwork of blind and visually impaired students in South Carolina.”
The artwork on display will include wall hangings and sculpture. The gallery’s
aim is to promote and provide access to art for visually impaired/blind people. Touching the artwork will be encouraged to sighted as well as visually impaired visitors.
The public is invited to a ribbon cutting and reception to open the gallery on Wednesday, March 12, from 10:30am to noon at 1430 Senate Street, Columbia, SC.
