Preparing Your Space

for a Tactile Artworks Presentation

This guide is designed to help you prepare the ideal space for your upcoming tactile art presentation. The physical setup of the room is crucial for ensuring every participant has a memorable, hands-on experience.

Small Groups (under 18 participants)

Larger Groups (18-36 participants)

Equipment

Recommended Table & Chair Arrangements

The best setup allows our artist, Linda, to be within arm's reach of each participant, providing personalized guidance and attention. For groups less than 18 people, we recommend the following configurations:

U SHAPE

L SHAPE

V SHAPE

ROUND

RECTANGLE

C SHAPE

“Losing one’s vision is frightening and incredibly unsettling as there is no way to touch and feel the loss. It is an ambiguous sense or feeling of loss. By working with Linda’s tactual presentations one can feel and integrate in a new way of one’s vision loss.”

— Kate Grathwold, Ph.D., President/CEO at Vision Loss Resources, Little Canada, MN

Book A Presentation

For larger groups, 18 to 36 participants, we suggest dividing them into smaller, rotating sections. Alternatively, a "fishbowl experience" with attendees seated in concentric circles can accommodate up to three dozen participants. For elementary-aged groups, sitting on the floor in a circle works well in an open room.
