NOTICE!!

Hey CBA families! We hope you all are staying healthy! Due to the suggestion of social distancing at this time, we think it is best to cancel face-to-face meetings for the Summer. We will keep you posted regarding future meetings in the Fall, and will follow the guidelines in place at that time.  In the meantime, we are considering the  option of virtual art projects presented in a video format to be  posted on our website soon!  Thank you for your understanding! Stay safe!

Bring Your Vibe to Our Tribe!

About Us

Our Artists

Our program is open to any student with a visual impairment, including blindness or low vision that cannot be corrected with glasses,  who would like to express himself/herself creatively!  We would love to see this program reach students throughout the Houston and surrounding areas by relocating our meetings to the Metropolitan Multi- Services Center in central Houston!

Our Goal

 We continue on our never-ending quest for accessible art venues for our students.  Unfortunately, in the vast cultural city of Houston, tactile art exhibits cannot be found!  We will continue participating in as many events as we can find, so that everyone will see that even the visually impaired love to experience art!  So far, we have been featured on ABC Channel 13 for our participation in the Houston Art Car Parade, participated in the Houston White Cane Day celebration, participated in the HAVIN Expo, and have been featured in TSBVI TX Sensbilites newsletters in both the Summer 2018 and Summer 2019 editions.  Who knows!  Maybe one day we will open our own tactile museum!  We dare to dream!

How We Began

My name is Katherine Trimm, and I am a Teacher of Students With Visual Impairments (CTVI).  Over the years, I have had so many students who love art, but do not usually have the opportunity to express themselves creatively!  Linda Brown, a Braillist,  and I decided that it was time for a change! Together we researched artistic opportunities for our students to no avail!  We resolved that our students could become the tactile artists that we could not find!  With the help of some wonderful people, we saw our vision come alive!
