Try your hand at capturing photographs of the festival as a seeing-impaired person would. This unique festival feature is similar to a challenge created by Tony Deifell of San Francisco. Deifell spread the activity to several US cities and around the world. Artsplosure will feature the Seeing Beyond Sight challenge both Saturday and Sunday while celebrating the release of Deifell’s new book.
