Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired is bringing together the blind artistic community and renowned national artists to make a statement on Miami’s historic street art scene: “It’s Possible To See ART Without Sight.” Celebrating inclusion, diversity and equity in the arts, our event features art by Miami Lighthouse artists and acclaimed international artists; lectures with prominent local artists, audience engagement in creation of a community art piece; live music; and live performance art.
To showcase how, “It’s Possible To See ART Without Sight.” Those living with visual impairments face unique challenges that are often overlooked, from writing certain letters of their name with ease and having access to creative outlets to job opportunities and success at school. Creating innovative programming that connects those with and without visual impairments together will raise awareness and build opportunities for success and greater independence.
Miami Lighthouse thanks all of our partners who have made it “Possible To See ART Without Sight”: The Children’s Trust, Arts4All Florida, The Jorge M. Perez Family Foundation, Florida Division of Blind Services, CITIZENS INTERESTED IN ART, The Wildflower Foundation, Inc., and with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners.
Art Walk at Miami Lighthouse, is an inclusive free event for all ages that redefines the concept of visual arts, challenges misconceptions and broadens the manner in which audiences can appreciate art.
