Form In Art, an art program for visually impaired adult students, recently celebrated its 40th anniversary at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Form in Art, started in 1971 by the Women's Committee and the Education Department, is the first course for blind adults at an American museum. The program incorporates gallery touch tours, studio time, and more. The anniversary was celebrated with an exhibition opening attended by roughly thirty Form in Art students, as well as museum patrons, guests, employees and educators.
