The Newsfeed: Seattle art show invites visitors to look — and touch

<p>An art exhibit in Seattle breaks traditional boundaries to give visitors a unique experience with artwork through touch. It’s called Please Touch: Together, Breaking Barriers at ARTS King Street Station.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Organizers say visitors can interact with 2D and 3D work ranging from theatrical costumes to animal skeletons and other abstract imagery and sculpture.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The goal is to raise awareness about accessibility for blind and low-vision individuals in the arts while bridging the gap between visual and tactile art experiences.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>For a decade, Please Touch has been exhibited at various Seattle venues. Cascade PBS arts and culture editor-at-large Brangien Davis toured the immersive show.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Barbara Oswald, a multidisciplinary artist and disability rights advocate, is a&nbsp;founder of Revision Arts.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>“The reality of it is trying to figure out how do we make a show that is accessible in all ways,” Oswald said.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The exhibit runs through January 4.&nbsp;</p>
