Curated by Emma Stein

A multi-sensory, contemporary art exhibition that makes art accessible to the visually impaired. 

The exhibition will feature non-visual curatorial methods and artwork that is accessible by its multi-sensory nature. In addition to advancing the field of art accessibility, the exhibition will also provide a meaningful experience for the sighted, giving participants an opportunity to branch out of strictly visual modes of engagement with artworks.
