ALL ACCESSible Tours
Tuesday & Thursday Afternoons
The ALL ACCESSible program provides attendees with access to our Sensory Art/ Living Art exhibition and Touch Collection. This artwork was commissioned specifically for individuals that benefit from a hands-on approach to experiencing art. Multiple pieces by Fiber artist Mallory Zondag will be featured and they are meant to be touched, worn and manipulated. Participants are welcome to relax and explore this space at their leisure.
In 2025-2026 this program will be located at the Bethlehem Visitor’s Center presented by Lehigh Valley Health Network & Bethlehem Area Public Library. Reservations required.
