Whitney Descriptions provides an opportunity for visitors who are blind or have low vision to experience the richness and diversity of twentieth- and twenty-first-century American art through vivid description. Ninety-minute sessions are free of charge and are offered monthly on weekend mornings through Zoom and over the phone.
Founded in 1947 by visionary artist and master printer Robert Blackburn, the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop (RBPMW) is the longest-running community printshop in the United States. In 2002, Blackburn ensured the continuity of this legacy by relocating the workshop to the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts (EFA). Today, RBPMW upholds Blackburn’s mission by providing an accessible and affordable studio environment that supports both traditional and contemporary printmaking concepts. Through fellowships, workshops, discussions, and exhibitions, RBPMW advances its educational initiatives within a welcoming environment built on fairness, shared access, and artistic excellence.
