In November 2021, Jack Straw and Arts and Visually Impaired Audiences (AVIA) presented an accessible online youth and family art workshop in conjunction with Andrew Fallat’s New Media Gallery exhibit Timbre, which featured his original sculptures that interact with and amplify sound in different ways.

Students learned about sound-making sculptures and Andrew’s process in creating his installation, experienced an audio described virtual tour of the installation provided by Jesse Minkert of Arts and Visually Impaired Audiences, recorded their voices through Andrew’s sculptures, and lastly, had the opportunity to create a sound-amplifying object of their own.

This program was made possible with support from the Seattle Office of Arts and Culture, 4Culture/King County Lodging Tax, Washington State Arts Commission, National Endowment for the Arts, Washington State Department of Services for the Blind, and individual contributors.

This program was provided in part under a contract with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
