APH InSight Art 2003 Awards
This is the twelfth year for the APH InSights Art Competition and Exhibition, organized by APH for artists who are visually impaired. APH received 407 entries from artists in thirty-nine states, as well as from Canada and Finland.
Judges selected seventy-two pieces of work for the display. First, second, third, and some honorable mention awards were given in each of nine categories. Seventeen of the award-winning artists attended the recent APH annual meeting of Ex Officio Trustees to receive their awards in person. The entire exhibition will be posted on the APH web site in the next month.
