Who hasn’t wanted to reach out and touch the brushstrokes of a Van Gogh painting or run your fingers across a Giacometti sculpture? Art should be an experience for all the senses, or at least that’s the philosophy behind Almost Real Things’ annual Touch the Art immersive exhibit. The show isn’t only about questioning the gallery status quo, though. It’s an intentional and thoughtful curation centered on inclusion, with many of the pieces created in collaboration with students from the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Touch the Art elevates art appreciation to an entirely new sensory experience.
