Courthouse Exhibition – Blind Visionaries: Work by The Seeing with Photography Collective

LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery presents “Blind Visionaries: work by The Seeing with Photography Collective.” The exhibition will be installed in the gallery Sept. 8 – 19 and is a collaboration with the Seeing with Photography Collective, a pioneering group of visually impaired photographers. 

The visually impaired or blind photographer works with a photographer assistant and shares what they want to create based on a vision in their mind’s eye. What results are riveting, surreal images that have helped these seemingly disabled artists to heal through their work. The Collective’s work has been exhibited worldwide and can be seen in the book Shooting Blind, published by Aperture.

In conjunction with this exhibition the Lake George Arts Project will present a live performance during our Lake George Jazz Weekend, at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 17 in Shepard Park. 

The Performance in Shepard Park, and the Courthouse Gallery exhibition are free. This exhibition is funded in part by the Town and Village of Lake George; The Gruskin Group, The New York State Council on the Arts and LGAP members.

The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets in Lake George. For more information, call 518-668-2616, 518-323-5499, or email laura@lakegeorgarts.org.
