                        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

Subject: [infoshare] An Invitation to the Met

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!! (smile)

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
