Welcome to the Blind Artists Society, a project of the Retina Research Foundation, Inc.  a not-for-profit corporation.
This is a free web portal for artists who lost vision or experienced the fear of blindness but recovered. We would also embrace participation from artists who take care of visually impaired people (the auxiliary category) as family members or eye care providers.
 
We hope that this portal (currently under development) will provide a means for the artists to:
- Communicate with each other, express their feelings and experience – a support group

- Display their art on line – a world wide show room

- Sell their art on line – independence and pride
Please come back to our site. We plan to have featured artists (painters, sculptors, photographers, wood carvers, writers, poets, musicians, art critics, editors, art galleries, auctioneers, etc.) and support organizations. Please send your comments or suggestions via email or post it on our message board.

Instructions for Submitting Artists:
Artists may participate in this portal as much or as little as they wish. We would ideally like to have a short biographical sketch, a personal photograph, contact information, and of course, art in a digital format. Please feel free to submit as much or as little as you feel comfortable. You do not need to discuss your visual impairment on an open forum unless you chose to do so.
If you desire to sell your art work on line, please submit contact information so that prospective buyers may contact you directly. You are welcome to post asking prices if you wish. This web site portal and the Retina Research Foundation, Inc. will not be involved in any financial transaction.
If you do not have any means to digitize your work, please contact us, and we will help.
