Voyagers Visit Palo Alto Art Center for Rain Stick Making and Immersive Tour


Vista Voyagers are joining Palo Alto Art Center <https://paacf.org/> to
view and make art, activate creativity, and expand our community! Palo Alto
Art Center is partnering with Vista Center to create an audio described
tour & rain stick making event tailored just for you.


60% of our planet and our bodies are made up of water, playing an important
role in our livelihood – and art. Voyagers will immerse themselves in their
newest exhibit, “I am Water” and will experience a highly descriptive tour
of the galleries. After the tour, everyone will have the opportunity to
celebrate water by creating and decorating rain stick (sound makers) with
interdisciplinary artist who is blind, Maia Scott.


Maia Scott teaches accessible arts at City College of San Francisco
<https://www.ccsf.edu/courses/fall-2022/accessible-arts-and-crafts-81918> and
offers arts centered classes at Lighthouse for the Blind
<https://lighthouse-sf.org/>. She incorporates labyrinths, social justice
and play in her arts practice. Scott authored and co-created “Finger Walks”
<https://www.aph.org/product/finger-walks/>, a collection of tactile
labyrinths produced by the American Printing House for the Blind
<https://aph.org/>. Scott is an arts activist presenting and participating
in a variety of local organizations, museums, conferences and academia to
spontaneous arts happenings.


Come join us for a private tour, and an exclusive immersive and accessible
art lesson! You won’t want to miss this fun-filled event to kick off 2023.
