Fine Arts Center

The COS Delta Gamma Alumnae Chapter helped fun the unique Tactile Gallery https://fac.coloradocollege.edu/?s=tactile+gallery at the COS Fine Arts Center at Colorado College. This gallery invites visitors to touch! Our DGs volunteer their time in the gallery to help guide visitors as they explore the pieces with their sense of touch. 

The Tactile Gallery was established in 1981 by a committee of dedicated volunteers. From the outset, the focus of the gallery’s collection was museum-quality sculpture in various media. Today, the collection includes more than 100 works, and the Tactile Gallery enjoys a large space just off the museum’s lobby. Its accessible design enables those who are blind, sight-impaired or physically challenged to tour on their own, with both braille and large print labels, and raised counters to accommodate wheelchairs. Since its inception, the Tactile Gallery has been generously supported by the Colorado Springs Alumnae Chapter of Delta Gamma Sorority through encouragement, gifts of money and art.
