Transaccess ArtAbility 2008 Poster Contest!
TransAccess would like to congratulate the ArtAbility 2008 poster contest winner, Alexandra Daily, a senior at Lincoln High School. The title of her work is "The Keys to Hope". Alexandra states that "I interpreted TransAccess' mission as passing on the ability for someone to recover their independence and regain hope. Technology is the key to the future and TransAccess holds the key to teaching those adaptive technologies. So the figure represented is TransAccess holding the keys taken from the keyboard - the keys to hope. The keys represent a gateway to a better life emphasizing that the key needed to complete the picture is hope."
TransAccess, Silicon Valley’s leading non-profit provider of adaptive technology and career transition services for persons with disabilities, announces the second annual poster contest for its ArtAbility fundraiser. High school students attending public and private schools in Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Alameda and San Mateo counties are eligible to compete. As this year's winner, Alexandra Daily will receive a $1,000 scholarship from TransAccess, and recognition at a pre-event VIP session with featured performance artist David Garibaldi. A poster of the winner’s work will be distributed to all attendees of the event on May 3, 2008. Lincoln High School will also receive a commemorative plaque and recognition in the event program.
