SUMMARY:Guggenheim Mind's Eye: Love Letters
DESCRIPTION:Roses are red\,  \nViolets are blue  \nThe Guggenheim’s art  \nHas love letters for you.  \nThe Guggenheim is continuing to celebrate the ideas\, people\, and art at the core of its mission by offering virtual and in-person Mind’s Eye programming for participants who are blind or have low vision. \nIn honor of Valentine’s Day\, join us for this month’s Mind’s Eye to exchange verbal description love letters with Guggenheim artworks. We’ll take a lighthearted approach\, with some artworks sharing their own love letters with the group and a chance to get creative and romantic with the language we use to appreciate art. This session features all new love letters from all new artworks\, so if you’ve been to a previous Love Letters session\, you’ll be just as surprised as any newcomers. \nThis month’s Mind’s Eye virtual programming will be led by educator Rachel Ropeik through verbal description and conversation. The virtual session will be accessible by web link or by dial-in phone number\, depending on your preference. In-person programming on Valentine’s Day will be led by educators Karen Bergman and Laura Sloan. \n\nMonday\, February 5\, 6:30–8:30pm VIRTUAL\nWednesday\, February 7\, 2:00–4:00pm VIRTUAL\nWednesday\, February 14\, 2:00–4:00pm IN PERSON\nWednesday\, February 14\, 6:30–8:30pm IN PERSON\n\nFree\, but space is limited.

SUMMARY:Virtual Verbal Description Tour of Shary Boyle: Outside the Palace of Me
DESCRIPTION:People who are blind or have low vision are invited to attend a virtual verbal description tour of Shary Boyle: Outside the Palace of Me. \nAn interactive solo exhibition from the celebrated multidisciplinary artist\, Shary Boyle: Outside the Palace of Me (through February 25) explores the construction of the self through drawings\, ceramics\, larger-than-life automatons\, two-way mirrors\, a coin-operated sculpture\, and a musical score. In this imaginative theatrical space created to foster empathy and collective action\, Boyle’s uncanny\, passionately crafted art asks us to examine the roles we play and are born into\, the way we see one another\, and the performance each of us builds over a lifetime.

SUMMARY:AFTER MIDNIGHT at Paper Mill Playhouse - Audio-Described Performance
DESCRIPTION:JAN 31–FEB 25\, 2024 This electrifying musical revue transports you to the Cotton Club of the Harlem Renaissance\, an unparalleled time in New York City when jazz and swing were king. After Midnight intertwines the poetry of Langston Hughes with songs from big-band legends Duke Ellington\, Jimmy McHugh\, Harold Arlen\, Dorothy Fields\, and more. The exhilarating score features such hits as “I Can’t Give You Anything but Love\,” “Stormy Weather\,” “On the Sunny Side of the Street\,” and “It Don’t Mean a Thing.” \nAudio description allows patrons who are blind or have low vision to hear a live\, objective\, and concise description of the action on stage in between dialogue and/or music using an earpiece attached to a small\, hand-size transistor. “Sensory Seminars” occur prior to each performance where patrons can receive more detailed descriptions of the costumes\, set\, and props\, as well as feel select items to gain a more tactile experience. Audio description devices may be obtained at the access services window of the box office. \nCLICK HERE if you require use of our audio description services.
