The Cultural Activities Center, in Temple, TX, about an hour's drive north of Austin, will open its Insight To No Sight'; exhibit on or before April 2.

The goals of this exhibit are twofold: create an opportunity for people with limited or no sight to experience art via tactile means, and to create awareness of challenges regularly experienced by people who are visually impaired. The exhibit will be viewed in a darkened room where visitors will be guided by a rail system.

A collection of 19 items, including commonly used objects and fine arts, will be displayed on the pedestals accessible by touch. Upon exit, visitors will be able to access printed or Braille information revealing/confirming the items on display.

Objects will be changed out regularly in order to create a new experience to repeat visitors. We are currently soliciting items to be available for loan to the exhibit. If you can help us in this way, please contact CAC Visual Arts Director Marilyn Ritchie, visualarts@cacarts.org.
