March 2025 — Call for Proposals for Please Touch Exhibition 2025

Theme: What Sustains You?

In these uncertain times, it is more important than ever to wrap around our diverse artists and provide accessible venues supporting the power of art.

Our work helps many people through the tactile experience of art that increases awareness, empathy, and provides windows into different experiences of being. The most important aspect of our work in ReVision Arts is to increase connection and build strong and resilient relationships within multiple communities.

We invite you to connect.

January 2025 — Please Touch in the news!

Our recent show, Please Touch: Together, Breaking Barriers, was covered on several regional news programs:

Cascade PBS’s The Newsfeed: “Seattle art show invites visitors to look - and touch”

KING 5’s Evening: “ At this Seattle exhibition, you can look at the art and feel it, too”

January 2025 — Please Touch: Together, Breaking Barriers!

ReVision Arts held a three-month tactile art exhibit at King Street Station (303 S Jackson St, in Seattle, WA). The show, Please Touch: Together, Breaking Barriers, ran from October to January 2025.

This special exhibit gave invited artists a venue and opportunity to share their tactile art while introducing patrons to the concept of Please Touch and allowing them to engage with art as the kind of tactile experience that is rarely encouraged or even allowed. Please Touch improves art access for blind, low vision, and sighted patrons, by providing awareness and accessibility.
