Visually Impaired Programme

													

In gallery sessions

Our live, in-gallery sessions take place in the gallery spaces and our learning rooms from 10.15am-3.30pm. In the morning, specialist artists lead a conversational, descriptive tour. In the afternoon participants are invited to explore their creative responses to artworks in a supportive and friendly art-making workshop. Friends and supporters are also welcome. Simply pack a lunch (or you’re welcome to use the café) and we’ll provide the teas, coffees, and artworks! Guide and assistance dogs are welcome throughout the gallery, there are designated toileting areas, and we provide water bowls.

Wednesdays, 10:15am-3:30pm. Free, but booking essential.

Online sessions

Our online sessions take place via Zoom and last for an hour and a half. In these relaxed meetings we explore art through visual description and conversation. A telephone number, link and password will be sent out before each session.

Wednesdays, 2-3:30pm. Free, but booking essential.
