Subject: Verbal description tour at the National Portrait Gallery

 

Greetings,

 

I am writing to let you know that I will be leading a verbal description
tour geared towards blind and low-vision visitors, of select portraits in
the  <https://npg.si.edu/exhibition/americas-presidents> America's
Presidents exhibition. This sensory-focused gallery talk will incorporate
rich storytelling, verbal description, and the opportunity to interact with
tactile reproductions of President Abraham Lincoln's face masks.

 

The dates are:

Saturday, July 11th, 10-11:30 am
Saturday, August 8th, 10-11:30 am

Tours will meet in the G Street lobby.

You may register at the link below, or by replying to this email with your
preferred date and the number of attendees.
