Discover “Art Through Our Eyes,” a February exhibit celebrating low-vision artists. View stunning works and hear each artist's story through accessible features in the gallery.
February marks Low Vision Awareness Month, a time to celebrate and support individuals who are blind or visually impaired. In honor of this, the library art gallery is proud to partner with the Sight Center of Northwest Ohio, an organization that has provided vital services to those with vision loss for over a century. Together, we present “Art Through Our Eyes: A Low Vision Perspective,” an exhibition that showcases the creativity and resilience of artists with low vision.
The exhibit features remarkable artwork created by individuals who use their talents to express their unique perspectives through visual art. Each piece tells a story of perseverance, technique, and passion.
Featured artists include:
Jeannine Dailey (1961-2021)
Deonte Munn
Mike Sager
Rick Fravor
Dave Wisniewski
Kathy Villa Hanneman

Panel Discussion:
As part of this special event, the exhibition will include a panel discussion featuring some of the artists. They will share their stories, creative processes, and the challenges they’ve overcome as artists with low vision.
