The Tactile Co-Learning Engagement is a 6-week program designed to explore tactile (touch) learning and artistic expression in contemporary art spaces. Participants work collaboratively with grunt gallery staff to deepen their understanding of access challenges and possibilities for tactile contemporary art practice. 2 non-visual artists will be selected to participate in the program that runs from April to mid-May 2026.

This program is limited to artists residing in the Greater Vancouver Regional District or Metro Vancouver. Priority is given to artists who self-identify as Non-Visual, Blind, Low-Vision, or Partially Sighted. Additionally, Indigenous artists from Host Nations (Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh) with a tactile practice are prioritized.

Join us for an Information Session (online on Zoom): 


Wednesday, March 4th at 6PM.
