Accessing Visual Art Through Image Description with Amy Amantea

Presented in partnership with Creative Manitoba. Live ASL interpretation will be provided for this workshop.

Image descriptions are an artform. They are designed to provide information and context of the visual to a blind or partially sighted person. Let’s explore the importance of image descriptions and remove the intimidation factor in creating them. Amantea will present a framework and lead you in putting it into practice. This workshop will help you describe your art on social media, in galleries, etc. Artists have the opportunity to impart specific meaning, intent and knowledge of their work, to add layers that make description rich and interesting for a blind audience.

All are welcome to attend these free online workshops, designed to help you to advance your art career. To receive a link, email [email protected]. Within a couple of weeks of broadcast, they will be available with captioning here.
