Tactile Art Exhibit: Seven Art Movements

The Chicopee Public Library is hosting a tactile art exhibit called Seven Art Movements, which is accessible to patrons who are blind or have low vision, in the Henry J. Bazan Community Room from May 11 to May 25 during library hours.

Visit the library to experience various works of art in touchable 3D including Mona Lisa by da Vinci, Girl with a Pearl Earring by Vermeer, the Scream by Munch, and others from various periods in art.

The artwork is created by Tactile Images from Chatham, NY. The company is committed to providing tactile experiences for people who are blind or have other disabilities. Images designed for touch provide the opportunity to acquire visual information independently, without relying on recorded descriptions or the interpretation of a sighted companion.

If you have any questions or would like to plan a group visit, please email Anne Gancarz at agancarz@cwmars.org or call 413-594-1800 Ext. 106

Hours:
Monday through Thursday from 9 A.M. to 9 P.M.
Friday from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M.
Saturday from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M.
