White Cane Safety Day brings students, families, and professionals together to learn about Texas White Cane Laws, practice their navigational skills, learn about resources and assistive technology, and be in community with one another. The Kimbell will host several gallery activities focusing on experiencing art through the senses. Additional White Cane Safety Day activities include city bus explorations with Trinity Metro, the Fort Worth Lighthouse for the Blind Independent Living RV, vendors, and an awards presentation. Bring your lunch for a picnic!
