Subject: Would your visually impaired students be interested in an art tour?

 

Dear Educator:
The Committee for Touring the Blind has scheduled the following tour topics
for the coming months:
February 20 - The Romance of the West
March 20 - Venice's Golden Age of Art and Music
April - 17 - Guest Artist demonstrates print-making

Please let me know if you would like your visually impaired students to
visit the museum for a tour on one of these topics.  We can schedule a
special tour for your group on another Thursday afternoon.   There is no
charge for the tour, and students and an appropriate number of "helpers"
receive free admission to the museum.

Regards,
Sylvia Lurie

PS.  Here is additional information about the February 20 tour.... 

.......
Artists have been drawn to the American West since stories of the Lewis and
Clark expedition were revealed in the early 1800s. With its vast, rugged
landscape, Native American population, and tough-as-nails cowboys, the West
was a larger than life experience artists wanted to share with urban
Easterners.  Their creative renditions captured the imagination of those who
yearned to see for themselves the beauty and power of this still untamed
wilderness. 

 Our tour will focus on three different types of western art, as interpreted
by artists who were, if briefly, part of the western legend.  Tour
participants will be able to touch one of the pieces (a sculpture) with
gloved hands.

 The tour begins at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, February 20. Participants assemble
at the museum's main entrance, 1219 SW Park Avenue, Portland. (Those
requiring a ramp should come in at the Members Entrance on the north side of
the building.)

The tour is free with museum membership. Non-museum members who are visually
impaired pay $3 for museum admission and may bring in one helper at no
charge. Children 17 and under are free. Seating is provided, and guide dogs
are welcome. 

Please let us know if you will attend the tour by calling and leaving a
message at 503-276-4290.
