The Dallas Museum of Art is an Art Beyond Sight Partner and participates in programming each October for Art Beyond Sight Awareness Month. Composed of leading institutions in 35 states and 25 countries, Art Beyond Sight Awareness Month is an outreach effort for people with vision impairment and is dedicated to building an inclusive society for promoting access to all.
The Dallas Museum of Art collaborates with artist John Bramblitt, who shares his process as a painter who is blind with visitors and leads workshops that include adaptive techniques for people with disabilities.
Art Beyond Sight programming has also featured artist Stephen Lapthisophon, artist and educator, in a lecture with John Bramblitt for a discussion of their process and work that involves the senses beyond sight.
