Calendar of Events: February 2011
"Touching Art Touching You. BlindArt Permanent Collection artistic excellence regardless of visual ability. Banbury Museum. 5th February 2011 – 31st March 2011
Touching Art Touching You, a fresh concept in the visual arts, comes to Banbury Museum on 5 February. The exhibition breaks traditional barriers by encouraging visitors to experience and explore the art on display through touch and other senses. The experience challenges the notion that sight is essential for creating and enjoying exceptional art.
The inclusive exhibition includes paintings, sculptures and installations drawn from the BlindArt Permanent Collection. BlindArt has gained worldwide recognition for promoting contemporary works by visually impaired and sighted artists, showcasing them side by side and challenging visitors to tell the difference. The collection has been exhibited around the UK and in New York.
Cherwell District Council’s portfolio holder for environment, recreation and health, Cllr George Reynolds, said: "Cherwell prides itself on being a district of opportunity and this exhibition certainly proves that. It's an opportunity for local people to experience art in a completely new and thought provoking way. Banbury Museum has, yet again, come up trumps in putting on an interesting and innovative exhibition."
Banbury Museum and the Oxfordshire Association for the Blind are working in partnership to encourage people across our region, including visually impaired people, to experience this unusual art first hand.
Younger visitors inspired by the exhibition will also be able to have a go at a sensory Prize Trail, and make a miniature book of sights, textures, sounds and smells. On 25 Feb people of all ages can also experience the tactile books and pictures of award-winning charity ‘Living Paintings
