Listening with an Open Eye |
The Alliance
for Inclusion in the Arts thanks the AT&T
Foundation who first recognized the need for Listening with an Open Eye and
whose early grant made it possible to conceptualize and initially develop the
guide. During this critical period, we received invaluable participation from
Lillie Mikesell, Karen Byers and their publishing company, Bywood Publishing.
Alan Champion and Rick Rubin also contributed generously to the information on
interpreters.
We are
equally grateful to the National Endowment for
the Arts and to the New York State Council
on the Arts whose generous support in 2000-2001 has made possible the
completion and publication on the internet of Listening with an Open Eye.
Our deepest
thanks and appreciation extend to the many individuals who have contributed
their experiences and expertise comprising the heart and soul of the guide
including Kenneth Albers, Michelle Banks, Sharon Bialy, Deanne Bray, Jeff
Calhoun, Mel Carter, the family of Sharon Carter, Willy Conley, Gordon
Davidson, Judy Dennis, John Dillon, Dr. Lawrence Fleischer, Linda Hartzell,
Monique Holt, Michael Kahn, Missy Keast, Troy Kotsur, Deborah LaVine, John
Frank Levey, Irene Lewis, Professor Paul Longmore, Anthony Natale, Andrew Shea
and Tim Vasen. Thanks once more to Alan Champion and Rick Rubin for reviewing
the sections on interpreters. Finally, special thanks to Barbara Shulman.
