JAMESTOWN - The Anne Carlsen Center is opening a contest for artists using adaptive equipment across the world.

The center has created a link through its Web site, www.annecenter.org, that will show electronic versions of paintings, drawings, photography, digital art, video, film and musical compositions made via assistive technology. The project has been named "Accessing the Artist Within."

Each artist also will have a biographical section explaining how he or she created their art and what tools were utilized.

Ten pieces of art will also be selected to be shown at Closing the Gap, an international adaptive equipment conference held in Minneapolis each October. More information is available about this multi-day conference at www.closingthegap.com.

For more information about the contest, visit the center online at www.annecenter.org or contact the ACC Jamestown campus at 800-568-5175.
