                            Friends,

   I have a question. 

  Do you ever go to Audio described theater or movies?? If you do, how do you 
learn about them?? Are you on a list of some sort that informs or do you get 
info from friends? the internet? or some other source?  Please, write me and 
let me know how you get info about Audio Described events! 


  If, like Lynnette,  you are unable to attend the touch tour on 10/23, perhaps 
I can arrange a special group visit in the future on a Saturday during our 
meeting time! Let me know.

  Cheers,
  Ellen

      Below is an invitation to visit the Met in the newly remodeled facility. 
If you are interested in attending any part of the day, RSVP to the numbers at 
the end of the invitation. Even if you have never participated in a program at 
the Met,  make this your first visit--I am sure you will want to go back!!

        Dear All 
        As you may know, the Metropolitan Museum's New Uris Center for 
Education will open on Tuesday, October 23. We are very excited about this - we 
will once again have classrooms, art studios and an Art Study Room where the 
Touch Collection will be housed and used for handling workshops. 
         
        The opening event is an Open House throughout the day on the 23rd, with 
various programs taking place in each new space. From 11.00-11.45 there will be 
a handling session using the Touch Collection in its state-of-the-art new home, 
entitled "The Touch Collection: Exploring Works of Art through Touch". This 
program is designed for people who are blind or partially sighted, but anyone 
can drop in to observe or take part in any of the various activities happening 
that day. So there will be observers and drop-ins. 
         
        As someone who has participated in our programs and helped us out with 
feedback on our programs for visitors with visual impairments, we wondered if 
you might be interested in taking part in this workshop at 11.00. It will give 
you a chance to acquaint - or reacquaint - yourself with our Touch Collection, 
which includes over 100 works of art from across the Museum's collections, and 
also to explore our wonderful new education spaces. Ines Powell and Pamela 
Lawton will be leading the workshop. 
         
        So, if you are interested in attending, please let us know, either by 
replying to this e-mail or calling (212) 879-5500 ext.3561. We very much hope 
you can join us on the 23rd, as well as on later dates for the usual workshops 
and tours. 
         
        Very best wishes 
        Rebecca, Deborah, Cathy and Marie
