"Please Touch: Together, Breaking Barriers" challenges the traditional boundaries of art appreciation by inviting visitors to engage with artwork through touch. After appearing in various venues for the past 10 years, The Seattle Office of Arts & Culture (ARTS) is now bringing this exhibition to ARTS at King Street Station to raise awareness about accessibility for blind and low-vision individuals in the arts.
"Please Touch: Together, Breaking Barriers" is a tactile exhibition inviting visitors to engage with artwork through touch. The show includes 2D and 3D work including theatrical costumes; depictions of animals, animal skeletons, architecture and mythic creatures; depictions of the human head and face and form, and other abstract imagery and sculpture.
Gallery hours are Wed. – Sat. 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. and until 8 p.m. on First Thursdays. Exhibition open Oct. 3, 2024 - Jan. 4, 2025.
