Can the arts, design and accessibility converge? What would happen if art was created in a form a more people could appreciate? What if art pieces, rather than being behind glass, were tactile experiences?
If you know someone who is blind or has a sight impairment you might consider asking them if they understand why so many artists exclude them from experiencing their work.
What can the arts foundation do to facilitate art that is not only tactile but can be experience at many levels by many people with a diverse set of abilities? We will be exploring this question at the Colville Arts Foundation along with other pertinent questions that will help us serve our community and globe in a much more effective way.

Artist Professional Development
The Colville Arts Foundation will launch it's Membership drive in January of 2009.
We are currently asking everyone who cares to get involved by filling out a simple survey of 8 simple questions. Do you care? Go to the link below:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=pfg0bU7XaDO0bjzKUwk_2fIg_3d_3d
Even before our survey results are all compiled we know we will be dedicating time and resources to artists/artisan professional development. This will include workshops such as "The Business of Being An Artitst" and "Contracting with the Virtual Academy"
Expect more from your Arts Foundation!
