Introduction
American Printing House for the Blind's word renowned art program, InSights Art, is announcing its annual deadline for submissions. Friday, March 29, 2024 is the deadline for all art submissions.
Main Content
Both amateur and professional artists from around the world are encouraged to enter their artwork in the juried art competition.
The art contest is open for all artists who meet the following definition of blindness:
Corrected visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the better eye (determined by a Snellen Chart)
A visual field limited to 20 degrees or less.
An individual who is receiving services from a school for the blind and/or recognized institute. This also includes those who function at the definition of blindness due to a brain injury or dysfunction.
Original works of two-dimensional art, sculpture, and craft works are considered each year. Winners will receive prizes, experience their artwork displayed during APH's Annual Meeting, and have a chance to travel to Louisville, Kentucky to receive their award at the annual InSights Art awards celebration.
Participants can submit their art virtually through insights@aph.org
