We're excited to announce the beginning of the Busy Bee Mosaic Project here at ForSight Vision Center.  It is being directed by our in-house Art Director, Rebecca Quattrone and her team as a part of the ForSight Vision Children's Project. 

As Rebecca describes it, "Each child’s story will be captured in their own honeycomb cell that will be incorporated into a larger collective mosaic in the form of a “Bee Hive".  The larger mosaic will then be permanently installed in the main lobby of the ForSight Vision Center. The sculptural "Busy Bee" metaphor embodies the spirit and energy of the ForSight children housed within the projective "hive" of the vision center".

Thanks to the York Dispatch, you can also see a short video as well as still pictures of the project underway.

DreamWrights has released its 2012 schedule of audio described performances. 

For those of you not familiar with audio described plays, each visually impaired person attending the special performance is given a head set.  Throughout the performance a specially trained narrator will describe various elements of the play to enhance your understanding of what is taking place on stage. 

In addition, DreamWrights will offer touch tours prior to the performance dates listed below – except of the March 22^nd performance.  This gives you the opportunity to feel stage props and get a better understanding of the stage layout. 

We are deeply grateful and appreciative of DreamWrights effort to make their plays accessible to persons who are blind or vision impaired.  NOTE:  It is extremely important that you call DreamWrights at 848-8623 EX 1 to make a reservation for the Audio Description Equipment.

Children always make the Christmas season brighter.  The staff at ForSight Vision had a blast celebrating with the parents and children of the FoSight Vision Children's Group in late December.  We even had a visit from Santa himself!

We knew you'd want to enjoy it too.  So check out the video...
