Touchable Art Show.
Oct. 1st, First Friday
Out North Gallery in conjunction with Alaska Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired are presenting this exhibition. The original show was held in October, 2001 in the old International Gallery of Contemporary Art. It was an “eye opening” show that dealt with the accessibility of art andvision loss by allowing all of us to TOUCH THE ART! The show put a new twist to what ”visual” art actually is or could be. So, let your imagination go while remembering that a common misconception is that the person who is legally blind lives in darkness. The ability to touch, feel, and even squeeze will help everyone experience the art in their way. -- curator, Lowell Zercher
