The Fully Tactile Art Exhibition 2024 was a groundbreaking, inclusive art experience held at Jettison Creative in SOMA over five days. Featuring work from 20+ artists and welcoming 400 visitors, the exhibition reimagined public art spaces by focusing on accessibility and multi-sensory engagement. Each piece was accompanied by Braille and many had audio descriptions, with docents guiding in-depth tours. Developed through collaboration among directors, artists, community members, and accessibility advocates, this transformative event demonstrated the vital need for more art exhibitions that center inclusivity and tactile interaction.
