The Tactile Exhibition, “SEven Art Movements”, Opens in the Mulva Cultural Center Atrium

“Seven Art Movements,” a tactile exhibition that uses the senses of touch and sound to help people who are blind or have low vision experience art, opens in the Mulva Cultural Center Atrium on November 19. This exhibition is free and open to the public.

Through replica works that include “Girl with a Pearl Earring” by Johannes Vermeer, “The Scream” by Edvard Munch and “Mona Lisa” by Leonardo da Vinci, visitors can learn about the artistic evolution of seven of the most influential art movements in history: the Renaissance, the Baroque, neoclassicism, impressionism, post-impressionism, art nouveau, and expressionism.

“Seven Art Movements” seeks to illustrate the distinct and defining characteristics of each period—its subject matter, craftsmanship, and style—presented chronologically beginning in the 16th century.

The exhibition features 3D imagery, braille text and embedded sensors that provide a customized, touch-activated audio narrative. This multisensory experience invites all visitors to engage with art on a deeper level while offering people who are blind or have low vision a unique opportunity to experience these timeless masterpieces.

“Tactile images are a way to bring art to multiple senses,” said Claudia Damiani, Director of Exhibits & Education at Mulva Cultural Center. “This allows everybody to experience art in an inclusive, meaningful and immersive way.”

Tactile Images, a subsidiary of 3DPhotoWorks LLC, is dedicated to breaking down barriers for blind people in a predominantly sighted world.

OSMS Expands Clinic Hours to Meet Patient Demands

Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Specialists (OSMS) has expanded their clinic and walk-in injury clinic hours for orthopedic and sports medicine care in Green Bay and Neenah.

What this means for patients throughout Northeast Wisconsin, is that on select weekdays, they can either schedule an appointment or walk into the OSMS walk-in clinic with a new injury and be seen by an orthopedic physician until 7:00 pm.

The clinic and walk-in injury clinic expanded hours at OSMS Green Bay are now 8:00 am – 7:00 pm Monday through Thursday, with Friday hours remaining from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm. At OSMS Neenah, the clinic and walk-in clinic expanded hours are 8:00 am – 7:00 pm two days a week – with the two days alternating every other week – and the hours for the other three days remaining 8:00 am – 5:00 pm.

“We understand that not all injuries happen Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. We also understand that schedules can get busy, and that some people may not be able to schedule an appointment during the workday,” explains Sandy Fragale, CEO of OSMS. “So, the decision for us to expand our hours was made to allow our community members access to orthopedic and sports medicine care when it is most convenient for them.”

In addition to this change, OSMS MRI services have also expanded later in the evening on Mondays through Thursdays each week.

OSMS’ new clinical and walk-in injury clinic hours can be found on their website at: OSMS Green Bay Clinic and OSMS Fox Valley Clinic.
