Audio Journal is a nonprofit radio and online service that broadcasts news and information to Worcester County residents who are blind or otherwise unable to access visual information. We connect listeners to the community by reading local and national publications and hosting a variety of programs. Audio Journal also works to increase employment opportunities for individuals who are legally blind through educational and other associated services.

The driving force behind our efforts is the belief that access to information is a right, not a privilege, which should be shared by all.

You can always contact us directly, and we would love to have you visit our studios.

FLORA: BEYOND THE SEEN                            

A Special Exhibition for visually impaired patrons at the Worcester Art Museum

Sunday, February 8, 2009  Once again Audio Journal teamed with the Worcester Art Museum to make their widely popular “Flora in Winter” exhibit accessible for blind and visually impaired patrons.  “Flora: Beyond the Seen” was held on Sunday, February 8 at the art museum, located at 55 Salisbury Street in Worcester. It consisted of an audio CD presentation of the exhibition program, including descriptions of the floral arrangements and the pieces of art they were located next to, and interviews with several of the arrangers.  Also included in the Discovery Room of the museum was a tactile table with floral and other elements that the arrangers use in their craft. Touching, feeling and smelling were encouraged. Floral arrangement were available for tactile exploring as well. Braille and large print programs were available. Funds for this program were generously provided by VSA Arts of Massachusetts www.vsamass.org, and by the Worcester Cultural Commission, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. For more information or for a copy of the audio tour on CD call Audio Journal at 508-797-1117.
