Please Touch the Art is a curated exhibition dedicated to tactile, interactive, and sensory-forward artwork. This show will feature works that are meant to be touched, held, handled, or otherwise physically engaged with by the viewer. We are currently accepting submissions from artists working in any medium that prioritizes the sense of touch. This exhibition aims to challenge the traditional “do not touch” culture of galleries and museums. We are especially interested in work that: •    Encourages physical interaction as a core part of the concept•    Explores texture, temperature, pressure, or movement•    Is accessible to neurodiverse audiences and/or
