Art Education For The Blind

Women of Vision

An arts and literacy program for women who are blind or visually impaired. Once a month, Women of Vision visit the museum to study art history, create their own works of art and write their memoirs using the museum's studios, galleries and gardens. An exhibition of these artists' work is currently traveling to area museums.

FSDB Partnership

The Cummer partnership with The Florida School for the Deaf and Blind in St. Augustine, Florida combines visits to the museum for touch tours, studio activities, and garden walks with school visits by museum educators.

Sculpture Timeline

Art Connections contains a hands-on sculpture time-line where visitors can touch replicas of important works of sculpture from different periods in art history.

Tactile Garden

Art Connections is home to an outdoor container garden filled with fragrant and touch-friendly plants.

Touch Tours

Touch tours of selected sculptures are given in the galleries. Three-dimensional replicas and tactile drawings are used to supplement the original objects on the tour. Please call 355-0630 for tour information.
