The High Museum of Art is putting together a tour targeted towards  
blind and visually impaired children and they have asked for input  
from the GOPBC.  We are looking at the week of August 22nd.  If you  
are interested in attending, please reply with the age(s) of your  
child(ren), the days you would be available to attend (weekday,  
Thursday evening, or Saturday morning), and the number of attendees.   
Sighted siblings are welcome to attend as well. The tour is meant for  
children in kindergarten through high school.  Please forward this to  
others who might be interested in attending.  Thank you.


Here is the information I received:
The High Museum has been working for the past year or so to develop a  
tour of the museum for children with visual impairments.  It is called  
“Sight Through Sense,” and it is a multi-sensory tour with lots of  
touch objects and music.
We really need to pilot this tour again, and I was hoping you might be  
able to help us find/get together a group of children.  Parents would  
absolutely be invited to come along as well.  This would be at no cost  
to you or the students/parents participating in the tour, we would  
just want feedback from you about what worked, what didn’t work, and  
how we can improve this tour to make it a more enjoyable and  
educational experience for the students.


Sight Through Sense

This tour will allow students with visual impairments to “see”  
artworks from the permanent collection by using all of their sense.  
Trained guides will use visually descriptive language, tactile  
objects, music, and movement activities to explore art from multiple  
perspectives.
