The goal of Touch the Art is to create a more accessible art event that caters to all of the different ways people experience art. We're doing that by removing the traditional barriers that many people encounter when visiting art shows and evoking all the senses.

For the past two months, a select group of artists, the “Touch the Art Collective,” and Almost Real Things co-founder Natalie Earhart, have been working with art students from the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (TSBVI) to build collaborative installations. They will come to life during Touch the Art!
