”Blind artists will share
their ideas and their work with the world at a show this weekend in Louisville. The art is as individual as it is unconventional and you don't have to see to appreciate it. The judge of the show, Jim Stevens, is blind and half the artists have disabilities. "If you have the need, you find a way," Stevens said. Stevens lost all but two percent of his vision in the Vietnam War and now he is world renowned for his scrimshaw. He judges the creations by what he feels. "That's one of the unique things about this show," Stevens said. "It tries to get people to think about art and see art in a way that broadens their horizon." Diane Bergstrom, who has a traumatic brain injury, has pieces on display. "I have to look at
my calendar everyday to know what year it is, what month it is and what I'm
supposed to be doing," Bergstrom said. "Art is such a process and it requires patience," Bergstrom said. "I'm much more patient. The show opens Saturday
from 7 to 9 p.m.
at the Louisville Center
for the Arts and runs through June 3. Louisville Center for the
Arts
