AER Colleagues, Myself and several others (Tina Herzberg, Tiffany Wild, Danene Fast, Justin Kaiser, Carlie Rhoads, Kathryn Botsford) have had the opportunity this spring to get to know Rishika Kartik who is a high school junior in Denver doing some amazing things around art for visually impaired youth.

Penny **** Dear All: I'm excited to share the details and registration for Tactile Art Workshops that we have planned in partnership with Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver (link below) for students who are blind or have low vision along with showcasing guest artists who are blind. The first session will take place next *Thursday, March 4 at 5pm (5pm to 6:30pm MT)* with more tactile workshops planned on every Thursday in March at 5pm (March 11, 18, 25) The workshop is *FREE* for all registered participants and the materials for the workshops will be mailed to the registered participants prior to the event. It features Tactile Painting with *world-renowned artist John Bramblitt* for all ability levels. I can't thank Museum of Contemporary Arts Denver enough for making this possible. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mca-denver-teens-multi-sensory-tactile-painting-workshop-w-john-bramblitt-tickets-142262686525 Please let me know if you have any questions or if you have any trouble registering for the workshop.
