Our Access and Inclusion Program is always being further developed to ensure people of all ages and abilities can experience sculpture in a beautiful setting. Supporting the active role of individuals with diverse abilities within the community, and as audience members. The program also cultivates partnerships with organisations, schools, and individuals that represent people with disability. Our Tactile Tours Program accommodates for the needs of individuals with vision impairment and other needs regarding sensory processing.
Sculpture by the Sea would like to thank the Australia Council for the Arts, Waverley Council and the AGNSW Access Guides for making the Access and Inclusion Program and Tactile Tours possible.
Led by a specialist educator, the tour will introduce the exhibition and present a selection of works with a focus on encouraging students use of language to describe subjective and objective responses to the sculptures and the processes involved in their creation.
