The event is free with museum admission. It will highlight The Warhol’s accessibility initiatives, including the EnChroma Color Accessibility Program™, tactile art reproductions and large-print copies of extended wall labels on every floor. Guests can download the Bloomberg Connects app, a digital museum guide, to get exclusive multimedia perspectives from artists, curators and more.
An ASL interpreter will be available for gallery talks at 11:15 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. There will also be sighted guide tours and sensory-friendly experiences in the Factory art studio, where guests can make screenprints and other crafts.
