The Vancouver Art Gallery presents monthly Described Tours for its blind and partially sighted visitors starting with a tour of A Curator’s View: Ian Thom Selects on January 5, 2019 at 11 AM.

Trained Gallery Educators will use innovative visual description methods to reveal the nearly ninety highlights including paintings, drawings, photographs, and sculptures drawn of from the Gallery’s collection as part of this exhibition. Partnering with VocalEye, the Gallery offers Sighted Guides to meet adults with sight loss (18 years of age and over) at the Burrard Sky Train station and accompany them to and from the Gallery. To arrange, contact VocalEye Volunteer Coordinator, Donna, at least 72 hours in advance of the tour date via email: buddies@vocaleye.ca
