LONDON, ENGLAND.- The revolutionary contemporary art exhibition Sense & Sensuality will be launching its second annual, multisensory art experience at Bankside Gallery on September 14 and will be on view through October 8, 2006.

This spectacular art extravaganza, organized by pioneering charity BlindArt, features paintings, sculptures, and installations that aim to dispel the misconception that visual ability is essential to artistic excellence and challenging the art establishment's final taboo - touch.

Sense & Sensuality 2006 encourages visitors to get 'hands on' with all the works of art on display - exploring not only visually, but through all five senses, breaking down the barriers between art and spectator.

The panel of judges for the nationwide competition comprise artist Marc Quinn, art critic Richard Cork, Catherine Hillis from the RNIB, art advisor Manfredi della Gherardesca, visually impaired artist Gary Sargeant, head of sculpture at Royal College of Art Professor Glynn Williams and Sheri Khayami, founder of BlindArt.
