Art exhibits traditionally don't allow touching and require sight to enjoy the experience. The ReVision exhibit at Casselberry Sculpture House is specifically designed to be enjoyed through touch.
The layout is simple. Braille blocks are placed one foot away from each piece of artwork. The blocks direct patrons on where to stand. Each piece of artwork is accompanied by an audio file describing what the piece looks like, feels like and what the artwork is about.
Arlene Freiburg-Vivaldi is FSG’s vice president. She’s encouraging even people with sight to put on a blindfold and interact with the sculptures just as a person who is visually impaired.
“Once you do, it starts making everything human and we find that we’re more inclusive,” Freiburg-Vivaldi said. “Because, although there are people that are visually impaired, they’re still people, if you’re sitting beside them, say hello, [and] now they get to be in a museum with you and I think that’s the coolest thing ever.”
“Art museums are not a fun place to go because it’s always hands off,” Park says. “The FSG stepped up and said, no, we’re not gonna do that, we want you to get your hands on this stuff, we want you to touch this stuff.”
