Free museum tour for low vision and blind visitors in LA (self.Blind)
submitted by AccessibleArt
Hello all!
I am working at the Craft Contemporary museum in Los Angeles and creating a tour of the two current exhibitions designed specifically for visitors who are blind or have low vision. It's a combination of sensory activities (including smells and sounds), verbal descriptions, tactile objects (you can actually touch some of the sculptures!), and discussion. Although I've worked with these types of tours at the Guggenheim in New York, this is the pilot tour in Los Angeles.
The tour is free to the public. RSVPs are suggested, which you can do by emailing the address below or messaging me here. The information for the tour is also included below. If you need any help with transportation, we can certainly send you some resources!
​
Hoping some of you Los Angeleans can make it! Feel free to ask any questions here.
$1
**Beyond Sight:**
**Gallery Tour for the Visually Impaired**
Sunday, February 24 | 11:00am, 1:00pm, 3:00pm | Free
These specially designed gallery tours aims for a multi-sensory experience for blind or visually impaired guests to engage with art in an immersive and accessible way. Tours includes verbal descriptions of select artworks.
Space is limited, RSVP required: $1.

This is such a cool idea. I'm bummed I can't make it to this one. It would be awesome if yall had a newsletter or something like it to announce upcoming exhibits like this. Thanks for doing this!

Sad that you won't make it! but I'm working on building up a mailing list specifically for people who would like to participate in the tours. If you're interested in being included, feel free to PM me your email address!

This is great! I have a regular meetup of blind & visually impaired professionals here in Los Angeles. We’re a tight knit group. I’ll be sure to share it with them all.
Feel free PM me with any further details.
Thanks for setting this up!
