Join us for an accessible gallery experience designed for neurodiverse visitors, including visitors on the autism spectrum, people with sensory processing needs, or those wanting a more sensory-friendly experience. During Sensory Saturdays, all expressions are welcome, and visitors can move, stim, or make noise while exploring exhibitions with lower light and volume levels. KWAG's Sensory Environment is open throughout the day, and features a range of stimuli including lights, liquid tile, texture resources and more to provide calm, focus and comfort.
Sensory Saturdays have been made possible with the support of Kitchener Rotary.
