Please Touch the Art Opening Reception

Yes, you really can touch all of the art in this exhibition! Join us for an opening reception 5 to 7 p.m. Aug. 16 celebrating the return of the popular exhibition “Please Touch the Art” after a pandemic-related hiatus. The exhibition engages all five senses, with a special focus on visitors who are blind or visually impaired. “Please Touch the Art” is for anyone who wants to experience art in a new way – or who has had to suppress the urge to touch a painting at a museum! Enjoy snacks and activities, listen to endangered sounds, and find out if you’re a “supertaster” at this fun event. Free parking is available in any TCC lot.

The exhibition was formed through an open call, and thirty percent of exhibiting artists identify as blind, visually impaired, DeafBlind, or disabled.

Many thanks to our partners, the Tulsa Community College Foundation, the Center for Individuals with Physical Challenges, NewView Oklahoma, Oklahoma School for the Blind, and especially Jeri Cooper of Jeri’s House.

Touch Signals is used with people who are deaf-blind, providing visual and environmental information using various methods of touch on the body.  These signals do not interrupt formal spoken or signed communication.  Touch SIgnals are discreet and in real-time, allowing the deaf-blind person greater awareness of what is occurring in their surroundings.
