Please Touch the Art from Cantor Fine Art on Vimeo.
One day a blind man discovered a screw painting by Andrew Myers with
his hands. The blind man found as much enjoyment out of the tactile
elements of the work as any sighted person ever has by just looking at
them. Andrew considers this moment as one of the most inspiring of his
career. Which led us to a question: Why is touching artwork so taboo?
Prior to the mid-1800s, tactile interaction was commonplace for visitors
experiencing collections of art, but as museums of art evolved, rules
forbidding touch became the norm. In some cases, these were to protect
artwork that truly was not meant to be touched, but in large part these
norms had nothing do with preservation and everything to do with
nineteenth century politics of gender, race and class control.
In light of all this, we decided to create a documentary that
elevates the level of tactile arts, and gives back to the visually
impaired community. It was at that point that we met George Wurtzel.
George is a blind artisan and teacher working at Enchanted Hills Camp
in Napa Ca. This is a 300 acre camp nestled in the red wood forest
above Napa Valley. Enchanted Hills is a summer camp for the visually
impaired. Here George teaches blind folks, through example, how to use
all the equipment necessary to become blind artisans.
Currently, George is converting an old grape crushing barn into a
Tactile Art Center. The top floor of the building is his 1900 sq. ft.
wood working shop. The bottom floor will be his Tactile Art gallery
space where blind people can feel and sell their artwork.
We fell in love with George and his mission and wanted to support his
new tactile art gallery. So we worked with Andrew Myers to surprise
George with a tactile portrait of himself. The first portrait he will be
able to feel and recognize.

The Academy of Music for the Blind (AMB) were kind enough to create a
song for our soundtrack. AMB specifically addresses the educational,
social, and physical needs of talented blind music students so that they
can fully develop their unique talents and be prepared for integration
into the workplace or other educational settings.
