Neuk Create and Connect: 'See With Me' - Exhibition Tour and Workshop at the Fruitmarket Gallery

We have been invited by the Fruitmarket Gallery for a tour and workshop at their upcoming exhibition 'See With Me':

'Over the last three years, Fruitmarket have been working with a group of people who are blind or visually impaired. The work began with and still includes detailed descriptive tours of Fruitmarket exhibitions and has developed to include monthly creative workshops led by visually impaired artists working with sighted artists. We experiment with art materials, equipment and techniques to test out what is accessible and enjoyable for each participant; visual impairment awareness and audio description training for all our staff; and insights into how we can ensure visually impaired visitors can get the most out of our exhibitions.   

The See with Me exhibition includes a range of work produced by our See with Me visually impaired participants. Audiences will be invited to touch the artwork, and our Gallery Information Assistants will be on hand to provide visual descriptions and guide people through the exhibition.

We will provide Neuk Collective members with a descriptive tour of the See with Me exhibition and an accessible creative workshop in our Studio. We can also provide free refreshments in the Studio.'

This event is not just for those of us who are visually impaired, we think it will be interesting for everyone!
