The BlindArt Permanent Collection showcases exceptional work by artists, both visually impaired and sighted, and encourages a re-evaluation of what constitutes visual art. BlindArt Permanent Collection breaks through traditional hierarchies & barriers in the arts by actively encouraging all works to be experienced through touch. The Collection challenges the notion that sight is essential for creating and enjoying exceptional art. The BlindArt Permanent Collection is the world’s first permanent showcase of visual art accessible to visually impaired people, and includes paintings, sculpture, installations and other works of art.
