The State Library of Kansas will celebrate Talking Books Week, March 3 – 7, by hosting the traveling art show, “Through Different Eyes: Achieving a New Perspective.” The exhibit will feature artwork created by Kansans with visual and/or physical impairments.

Fifteen artists, all of whom are patrons of Kansas Talking Books (www.kslib.info/talking-books), will showcase their creative talents at locations across the State. “This traveling art show is a great opportunity to celebrate the capabilities of our Talking Books patrons,” said State Librarian Jo Budler. “We thank the artists for sharing their gifts and enlightening us with beautiful work.”

The exhibit will be on display for three weeks at the State Library which is located in the Kansas State Capitol. The library is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Braille programs and an audio tour will be available for the visually impaired. “This show was created with accessibility in mind,” said Kansas Talking Books Director Toni Harrell. “We hope to engage as many people as possible—with or without disabilities.”
