Guests tasted mystery jelly beans at last year's Please Touch the Art Exhibit, and then sketched what they tasted. Some guests wore blindfolds as they sketched, trying to understand for a brief moment what it is like to not see. We are now looking for new, easily accessible art submissions that have a taste element. If you have ideas of how to incorporate taste into a work of art, this is your opportunity to shine! Submissions are OPEN for Please Touch the Art 2026. Be part of something BIG and submit today: CALL FOR ARTISTS: Please Touch the Art
