Works incorporate raised surfaces, textured layers, sound, and interactive elements. A guided touch tour will be offered to expand access for visitors who are blind, have low vision, or benefit from tactile engagement. Participating artists had the option to include their work in this tour or provide an audio description to support accessible interaction.Article contentArtists responded to the theme across a wide range of media –from natural materials like wood and clay to contemporary forms that invite movement and sound. The show also considers the creative process itself and how carving, layering, or shaping becomes part of the work’s final expression.Article contentThe opening reception is set for Saturday, July 26, from noon to 2 p.m. while a closing panel and artist talk will occur Saturday, Aug. 30, at 1 p.m.Article contentArtsplace is a public art gallery that is operated by the council, a registered charitable, community organization dedicated to encouraging and promoting the arts.Article content
