Form in Art Program:

Form in Art combines art-making studio classes and the study of art history into a unique course for legally blind adults. Visual description and touch tours by specially trained guides help students get an initial experience of select objects in the Museum's galleries.

Historical and subjective information and lectures by conservators and curators supplement this information and teach about the role of the art museum. In studio classes, artist instructors expose the students to a wide variety of materials and techniques to assist and encourage their self-expression.
