Accessible Archibald Prize Finalist exhibition
Conexu Foundation has once again partnered with the Art Gallery of NSW to enable the 2017 Archibald Prize Finalist exhibition to be accessible for Deaf and hard of hearing people.
From Monday 28 August, each of the 43 finalists stories including the winning portrait by Mitch Cairns will be accessible in Auslan (and captions) or in audio and captions.
Conexu’s free OpenAccess Tours app will have the Art Gallery of NSW 2017 Archibald Prize finalists available in both Auslan and captions. You can download the app from Apple’s App Store or Google’s PlayStore.
The Art Gallery of NSW will also make the Auslan videos available on their website.
The exhibition will finish on 22 October. The accessible 2017 Archibald Prize will then go on a roadshow from 27 October across Victoria and NSW. See below for details and make sure you see it!
