Participate in an artmaking and sensory exploration event—developed in partnership with Art Possible Ohio—during the launch of this year’s ReelAbilities Film Festival Columbus!
Audio Café is an accessible experience, open to all, for anyone with or without disabilities who is interested in sensory exploration of the arts beyond vision. Enjoy an audio-described tour of works from one of our fall exhibitions, Sharing Circles: Carol Newhouse and the WomanShare Collective, with a gallery educator. After that, take part in a community making session with local writing artist and sensory guide Elizabeth Sammons.
Light, dietary-inclusive refreshments will be provided in the café after the tour, during the making session. The event will conclude at 2:15 PM.
Audio Café is free to attend, with registration limited to 15 participants. Registration closes September 15.
Contact Accessibility Manager Helyn Marshall by email at accessibility@wexarts.org or by phone at (614) 688-3890 to register. Transportation access support—determined as part of the registration process—will be provided as needed.
After Audio Café, you can join us for a virtual chat in our Film/Video Theater with award-winning, disabled filmmaker Reid Davenport at 2:30 PM. Stay for a free screening of his documentary I Didn’t See You There—presented in partnership with Art Possible Ohio for ReelAbilities Film Festival Columbus. The film will screen with open captions and open audio description at 3:15 PM.
