‘Blind art’ exhibition launched


Rita Simpson’s Edinburgh painting is one of those in the exhibition

An exhibition of paintings by artists who have lost their sight is to be opened to the public.

The artists are all members of classes held by the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) at its Scottish headquarters in Edinburgh.
