Sensory-Friendly Morning in the Galleries with Readability
Advertisement
Come spend a morning with us—where multisensory storytelling meets hands-on art in our galleries!
Participants will settle into an inclusive, interactive story time with Oh Olive by Lian Cho and use playful props that engage sight, sound, and touch. After the story, they’ll create their own art inspired by current exhibition, What I Leave Behind. Each session offers guided exploration through the gallery.
Afterwards, you can grab lunch, visit the library, or enjoy ice skating in The Square—just steps away from VisArts’ galleries.
This program is presented by VisArts in partnership with Readability, a local, student-led nonprofit creating engaging programming for neurodivergent kids who benefit from experiencing stories with all their senses.
Tickets cover one participant and one caregiver. Every participant must be accompanied by a caregiver.
Please use the Notes section on the registration form to list needed accommodations.
