Tactile Artworks
Inclusive Art Presentations in Minnesota
Discover Art You Can Touch
Welcome to Tactile Artworks, where we believe art should be experienced with all of the senses. We offer unique and inspiring art presentations for all audiences in Minnesota, designed to be fully inclusive. Our programs allow everyone to "see" and connect with art through the power of touch.
Meet the Founder, Linda Brant-Malm
Tactile Artworks was founded by Linda Brant-Malm, an artist with a background in theatre design and a passion for creating accessible art. Inspired by her personal journey with vision loss, Linda creates and narrates each presentation, combining inspirational storytelling with handcrafted tactile objects. She provides a new way to experience art that is both therapeutic and profoundly meaningful.
“Linda makes talking about the loss of vision inviting and relatable. In watching people interact with her sculptures, it is evident that she has created pieces that provide a sense of healing through art.”
— Susan Anderson, Associate Director of Programs at Vision Loss Resources, Minneapolis, MN
