Experience

A collaborative artist exhibition with the Helen Keller Services

The Art Guild is proud to present our collaborative artist exhibition with the Helen Keller Services, Seeing Differently: A Tactile Art Experience.” This exhibition showcases the creativity of DeafBlind artists, emphasizing their perception of the world and turning it into art. This immersive collection of artwork offers a sensory experience that highlights the importance of touch and texture in art and the personal expression that is shared through our hands. This exhibit invites you to explore the profound depths of “seeing differently” and the opportunity to engage with the art in new ways. Join us to experience the diverse and rich creativity that flourishes through different senses

Attendees of the exhibit will experience art from a new perspective – through your fingertips. This unique exhibit focuses on the sense of touch, where you can feel the shapes and textures that bring these creations to life. Each piece carries a unique narrative, created by DeafBlind and blind artists of Helen Keller Services. We invite you to PLEASE TOUCH the art!
