Visually impaired artists display their work in new Cambridge exhibition

Visually impaired and blind artists are displaying their works as part of a new exhibition in Cambridge. ‘From the Studio Floor’ was set up by blindness charity Cam Sight, who hope they can sell some of the pieces to raise money for their work in the local community. The curator has deliberately mixed the art all together so that visitors won't be able to tell which works are by full-sighted or partially sighted artists. (Also it features a fellow Derby artist!)
