The Other Sight Art Exhibition 2026 Opening Night

Wed 7 Oct 6pm - 8pm

Guide Dogs Victoria - Betty Amsden Education Centre, Melbourne

Look beyond expectations and discover extraordinary creativity.

Join us for opening night and step into a world of colour, imagination and artistic expression at The Other Sight, an exhibition bringing together artists who are blind or have low vision.

Each work offers a unique perspective, showcasing the talent, imagination and creative vision of the artists behind it. Be among the first to experience the exhibition, meet the artists and immerse yourself in their remarkable work.

Enjoy light refreshments as you connect with the artists and celebrate the power of creativity to challenge perceptions and open our eyes to new ways of seeing.

Featured Artists

Sara Partow - An artist whose vibrant, textured paintings explore nature, kindness, connection, diversity and resilience. Working with bright colours, high contrast and tactile techniques, Sara uses art as a powerful form of expression.

Madeleine Popper - A tactile artist who paints using her hands and fingers, creating vibrant, sensory-driven works inspired by her surroundings, stories and sounds. Her practice celebrates creativity beyond sight.

Noora Remi - A writer, artist, designer and poet whose work explores the unseen. Living with retinitis pigmentosa, Noora’s paintings reflect motherhood, disability, displacement and the human experience.

Jane Spraklan - A tactile artist who works primarily with papier-mâché. Legally blind for many years, Jane embraces the sensory nature of the medium to create her work.
