Multi-sensory mural unveiled in Louisville's Clifton neighborhood for the visually impaired

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville's Clifton neighborhood is bringing visual art to the visually impaired.

A colorful 58-foot multi-sensory mosaic mural was unveiled Friday in a small park on Frankfort Avenue, near the Kentucky School for the Blind. It was designed with more than 4,000 handmade ceramic tiles to eliminate sensory barriers.

The artist, Liz Richter, used raised tile so visually impaired people can still experience the installation.

"This is the ultimate human project, anti-AI. Every piece has been hand-sculpted, hand-made by humans and so I hope that that energy comes off when you put your hands on it and enjoy the audio and all of that because it was made with love."

The mural tells the story of the Clifton neighborhood to everyone regardless of abilities. It is also aided by audio programming and an accessible website.

One of the collaborators on the project is blind, and he's even depicted in the mural.

The mural was funded by Louisville Visual Art and the Kentucky School for the Blind Charitable Foundation. To learn more, click here.
