ReVision Arts has the incredible opportunity to hold a three-month tactile art exhibit at King Street Station (303 S Jackson St, in Seattle, WA). The show, Please Touch: Together, Breaking Barriers, runs from October through December 2024.

This special exhibit will give 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.

To make the exhibit successful, ReVision Arts is holding several fundraising events and also seeking event and exhibit sponsorship.
