The National Portrait Gallery is looking for participants with any level of sight to help shape how audio descriptions of art are provided. The survey will take about 1 hour, and participants receive a $10 voucher!

Penny Rosenblum, one of our moderators, just completed this study and found it really fascinating.

"The National Portrait Gallery is involved in a study that looks at the ways people with different levels of sight experience audio description. As part of the study, we are looking for volunteers to take part in some online research. We need participants who are blind, partially-blind, low-vision or sighted; who are art lovers, or who have no interest in art at all, or who fall somewhere in between. The study takes approximately 1 hour, and we are able to offer a thank you voucher of $10.

This is a collaborative UK/US project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, run by Alison Eardley (University of Westminster), in partnership with the National Portrait Gallery (US), Access Smithsonian (US), the Watts Gallery and Artists Village (UK), VocalEyes (UK), Smartify, Royal Holloway, University of London and the University of Westminster.
