Back Issue: June 25, 2004 | The Washburn Arts Gallery was one of several venues in Washington, D.C., for the 2004 International VSA (Very Special Arts) arts Festival, held June 9 to 12. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the organization, which was created for people with disabilities to learn through, participate in, and enjoy the arts. According to VSA’s website, nearly five million people with disabilities participate in VSA arts programs every year through affiliates in 49 states and the District of Columbia and 64 countries. Here, Kentucky visitors (from left) Mary O’Neal, Tatyana Borisova, and Ginny Miller discuss Los Angeles, Calif., artist Barbara Romain’s painting “Mind Over Matter.” Romain, who has a retinal degeneration disease, relies heavily on language and music, creating weavings, patterns, and textual layers within her paintings.  |
