Some Help for Artists, Galleries, Private Collections and Museums Impacted by Hurricane Sandy

As the Eastern Seaboard continues to recover from Hurricane Sandy, those impacted by the devastating storm are slowly coming to terms with the shock of losing art, furniture and other possessions, but we want them to know there are a few resources that can possibly help them with their recovery.

BLIND ART

Not really…but these paintings do incorporate Braille. I have often wondered how the blind enjoy art since gallery’s & museums aren’t into letting you actually touch the pieces.

Underneath Roy Nachum’s oil paintings are tiny raised gesso pixels on the surface of his canvases that he sculpts with a pallet knife. These pixels mimics Braille’s system of raised cells in rectangular columns, embedded in them are written messages, poems or quotes which he says offers the blind a way into his art.
