Access Culture: Exploring Art with Audio Description and Tactile Elements
March 13 @ 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Explore the Lehigh University Art Galleries Permanent Collection in a new way! In partnership with Touchstone Theatre’s “The Big Read” Initiative, this interactive program features detailed audio descriptions and hand-crafted tactile representations of selected artworks, created by LUAG accessibility students and staff.
Audio Description (AD) enhances accessibility by bringing visual images to life for people who are blind, low vision, or have visual impairments. Through detailed narration, AD captures the essential visual elements that sighted individuals might take for granted, providing a vivid, alternative way to experience art. This event is designed for blind and low-vision patrons but is free and open to all hoping to learn more about AD in action.

This workshop is part of the Access Culture (AD) series, which includes sessions on audio description and tactile materials. While attending all three workshops is encouraged, each can stand alone. Find links to the other events in this series on our events page and join us for one—or all!
