[Cheryl Fogle-Hatch]

Two exciting events are planned for the tactile art exhibition "Ways
of Seeing". Save the dates: art-making workshop Saturday June 15, and
public presentation about tactile art Saturday June 22. Here are the
details.

Dots Are Not Created Equal
Community Arts Workshop with Jenny Callahan
Gallery CA
440 E. Oliver Street
Baltimore, MD 21202
Saturday, June 15, 2019
2-4pm

Join artist Jenny Callahan for a workshop to create a tactile graffiti
panel that will be included in the Ways of Seeing exhibition at
Gallery CA. Tactile graffiti includes images made from braille, paper,
glue, clay, origami paper, paint with texture, etc. All skill levels
welcome. Participants will be creating collaborative artwork viewed
primarily by touch. Other senses can and will be included through
multiple media, visual, audio and design skills. The artist will lead
participants through the creation of the piece by sharing her own
experience of navigating through information that is often redundant,
off scale, or difficult to sort through. This workshop will offer an
opportunity for participants to create their own tactile communication
as well as learn how the quality of design in tactile and braille
materials greatly impacts the users experience. Space limited RSVP
required.
To RSVP, contact Ellen Ringlein by email at ERinglein at nfb.org or by
phone (410) 659-9314.
