"The Envision Arts program has been championing accessibility in the arts for over 10 years, inspiring people of all ages with an opportunity to share their stories through creative self-expression," said Sarah Kephart, Envision Arts Manager. "Since opening the doors of the Envision Arts Gallery in January of 2022, our impact and reach has inspired a community of creative individuals with vision loss and other disabilities from all across the world to feel a sense of inclusion in a field that at its core is about the human connection. The recognition of the gallery and the exhibition Masterpiece Relief for the Blind by Envision Dallas art education teacher and sculptor, Tomas Bustos, by NBC and the Today Show, signifies our cultural and societal desires to engage and provide meaningful, inclusive, diverse and equitable access to the arts."
