[nfbwatlk] FW: Seattle Art Museum ACCESS Tours

[Noel Nightingale]

Maybe I am just grumpy because I am sick of being laid off, so please take
these comments in that context.  While I appreciate the Seattle Art Museum's
provision of accessible tours and would love to take advantage of them, I
would think that a person with a doctorate would have done a little research
into the nature of our organization and not invited us to include our
"program staff."  Also, the implication of the invitation is that none of us
work and could come on a Wednesday during work hours.

Dear Federation for the Blind,

 

Based on your work in the Seattle community, I am writing to let you know
about the ACCESS program at the Seattle Art Museum (SAM). Seattle Art Museum
aims to meet the needs of all SAM visitors. As part of this initiative,
SAM's ACCESS program provides monthly Docent- led tours of the museum's
collection to visitors with low or no vision. 

 

We would like to invite you and populations you work with to attend.
Attached is our ACCESS tour schedule for the current academic year. The next
ACCESS Tour opportunity is October 23, 2013, 11am - 12:15pm, focusing on
SAM's special exhibition, Peru: Kingdoms of the Sun and the Moon.   

All SAM ACCESS tours are FREE to participants, however, space is limited and
pre-registration is required. To RSVP, please email
<mailto:melaniee at seattleartmuseum.org> MelanieE at seattleartmuseum.org. 

 

 <mailto:We> We hope you can share this information with your program staff
and participants. Feel free to contact us with any questions and we look
forward to hosting your group at the museum.

 

Thank you for your support of SAM's programs,

 

Melanie Enderle
