Art in Darkness reveals the world of visual art for the blind. This short documentary follows three blind individuals on a descriptive art tour at the world renowned Albright-Knox Gallery. Through verbal, tactile and other instructional techniques, art comes alive for these three patrons, and we discover how they are able to 'see' a painting. In exploring the importance of art in their lives, the film uncovers the incredible journey each person undertook to overcome their blindness to become professors, musicians, and psychologists; and we begin to understand the unifying and transcendent power of art.
