Weems Gallery invites artists of all mediums for their show, Breaking the Rules of Looking (A Touchable Art Show). “In the spirit of amazing tactile shows that were designed to welcome people with differences in visual abilities to experience art, we hope this show inspires people of all abilities to ‘break the rules’ a little, and reach out to experience texture, shape, and materials in an additional way. The first in a series about activating all our senses with art, we are excited to see how the visual and tactile experiences enhance one another in this exhibition.” Contact them here for additional details.
