The Washington Talking Book & Braille Library in downtown Seattle will double as an art gallery later this month as it features tactile art created by the library’s patrons.

The library’s  “An Expression of Touch” exhibition will take place in its meeting room October 19-23 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The opening reception is Friday, October 16, from 5 to 8 p.m. Submitted pieces (including one to the left) so far include pottery, baskets, sculptures, textiles and a painting. 

Located at 2021 – 9th Avenue in Seattle, WTBBL serves residents of Washington unable to read standard print material due to blindness, visual impairment, physical disability or learning disability.
