Art by Description: Onsite tour at the National Gallery

“‘I believe in the power of art, the power of the paintbrush. I know that art can change lives — it changed mine — and I hope that art can change the world too.”
Vincent Namatjira

In July we return for a second live audio-described tour of Vincent Namatjira: Australia in colour. Namatjira’s paintings are a satirical chronicle of Australian identity from a contemporary Aboriginal perspective.
This social tour, designed for participants who are Blind or who have low vision, facilitates shared discussion and uses tactile resources.
Each month, join a small live descriptive tour of major exhibitions or individual works of art in the National Gallery’s collection.

RSVP via email to access@nga.gov.au or call Adriane on 02 6240 6632.
