Subject: Sign up now for the Last Art Beyond Sight Tour before Summer

Join us at the Seattle Art Museum for the last Art Beyond Sight Tour before summer break! Art Beyond Sight is a free tour program for visitors with low or no vision and sighted guests. On Wednesday, May 22, from 2-3:30 pm, we'll explore the great Pacific Northwest through the lens of the Indigenous peoples and colonizers. We'll look at collection favorites like Kwakwaka'wakw House Posts<http://art.seattleartmuseum.org/objects/4208/dlam-interior-housepost-depicting-upper-one-who-announce?ctx=df450663-dbbb-4962-bc5f-13bb0262b367&idx=13>, contemporary Seattle artist Preston Singletary's glass work Keet Shagoon<http://art.seattleartmuseum.org/objects/30050/keet-shagoon-killer-whale?ctx=9a52f1a1-069d-40b4-8c63-bee80b08db98&idx=2>, and Albert Bierstadt's painting Puget Sound on the Pacific Coast<http://art.seattleartmuseum.org/objects/26759/puget-sound-on-the-pacific-coast?ctx=9a1e4e12-e043-498e-b74e-f774916ee140&idx=1>!

Please note that we will begin our tour in Brotman Forum this time around, which is the main hall on the second floor of the museum, close to the First and Union entrance. (Don't worry, we will still start with roundtable time and refreshments!) Volunteers and staff will be stationed at entrances to help navigate and you can find Seattle Art Museum's Low Vision Map & Guide by clicking here<https://www.seattleartmuseum.org/Documents/Low_Vision_Map_online3.17.17.pdf>. We will provide folding stools in the galleries to all visitors to make the tour a more comfortable experience.
