Verbal Description Online provides an opportunity for visitors who are blind or have low vision to experience the richness and diversity of twentieth and twenty-first-century American art through vivid description. Ninety-minute sessions are free-of-charge and are offered monthly on Friday mornings through Zoom and over the phone. On the occasion of the thirty-first anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), this tour will focus on themes of disability in works in the Whitney’s collection.
