Art Eyes Coordinator Tabitha JacquesOn Thursday November 7th, 2008, Art Eyes Happy Hour at the Ellipse was a great success, thanks to Event Coordinator, Tabitha Jacques! After receiving a B.A. in Art History from Gallaudet University and a M.A. in Art History and Museum Studies from Georgetown University, Jacques recently began organizing Art Eyes events as a way to reach out to the hearing impaired art loving community.
Art Eyes is designed to create dialogue, art critique amongst peers and interpretation of artworks. Their mission is to empower the Deaf community and to become more involved with the Visual Arts. Targeted audiences include all artists, art lovers and the art-curious.
ASL interpreters were present at the event to translate for the three artists in attendance, Frank Hallam Day, Mary Coble and Jason Horowitz.
