Artist Charles Blackwell uses music as the inspiration for his paintings of jazz musicians and Bobbie Gray's inspiration for her collages is the Delta's natural landscape. Listen as these artists with vision loss explain what motivates them to make art. View some of the astonishing creations on display in a unique exhibition entitled "Insights 2009" at San Francisco City Hall. Presented by LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired, the exhibit begins in October, Disability Culture Month, and continues until December 11, 2009. All of the works in the exhibition were crafted by artists who have vision loss and yet create art that is extraordinary and compelling. "Insights 2009" features 118 works in a variety of media by 38 artists from the Bay Area and other parts of the country. The exhibition is free to the public. Free audio tours are provided to make the art accessible to individuals with vision loss.
