Option 1: Group hotel block

  • Dialogue in the Dark - Optional Group Excursion - Tuesday, November 9th 7:00 PM

Interested in experiencing "Dialogue in the Dark," a special exhibit at Atlantic Station in midtown Atlanta?

DIALOG IN THE DARK'S visually impaired guides lead visitors on a journey through a series of darkened galleries created to replicate everyday experiences. Without familiar sight clues, visitors learn to "see" in a completely new way with their non-visual senses. Learn more at http://www.dialogtickets.com/index.html.

Tickets are $24/person and the exhibit lasts 1 hour. We will provide transportation from the AMAC offices to the exhibit and will leave as a group around 6:15. E-mail Allie Cox (allie.cox@amac.gatech.edu) if you're interested in participating.
