The next Nuvisions meeting will be held on October 6, 1999 from 7 to 9 P.M in the Community Room of the Abington Art Center, 515 Meetinghouse Rd., Jenkintown, PA.

Please try to attend this meeting. President Arnold Segal will discuss an exciting project and our involvement with the Mural Arts Program of Philadelphia. We need the involvement of our members. Refreshments will be served.

ETS Exhibition

Our exhibit at the Educational Testing Service in Princeton, NJ was well received.

New member Marilyn Lavins sold one of her paintings to a staff member of the Kardon Institute.

Kardon Institute Show

The Nuvisions Annual Member Show at the Kardon Institute has been postponed until later in the year due to Administrator Rose Marcus's accident and hospitalization in August. A prospectus will be sent out shortly as soon as plans are finalized for the exhibit.

Assistive Technology

We have received brochures from the Pennsylvania Assistive Technology Foundation concerning low interest loans for Pennsylvanians with disabilities to purchase assistive technology devices and services. Please contact Administrator Rose Marcus at 215-742-7665 if you are interested in receiving a brochure.

Artist News

Artist Member Helene Berman is having a one person exhibition of her work in Long Island, NY.

Artist Member Barbara Sills Fishman sold one of her best paintings in May 2001. The painting was sold during the 3rd Annual Acquisitions Exhibition by Artists with Disabilities and donated to the permanent collection of the Viewpoint Gallery at the Sunnyview Hospital and Rehabilitation Center, Schenectady, NY.

Mural Project

At one of our membership meetings we announced our Mural Project which was met with enthusiastic interest. We determined how to physically accomplish the mural project and have at least eight artists for this project.

President Arnold Segal has had a number of meetings and conversations with Roger Margulies, the Mayor's Deputy for the Handicapped. Some weeks ago he had a very positive meeting with Jane Golden, head of the City of Philadelphia's Mural Arts Program, and her assistant. A follow up meeting is to be scheduled.
