Color Without Limits: A Playful & Inclusive Collaboration in Multi-Sensory Art

Friday, April 10, 2026, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM | Boulder Arts Week
Collaboration with Artie SandStone
Audio Event Description | Calendar: Boulder Arts Week

Step into a world where creativity is experienced through every sense. Color Without Limits is an inclusive, tactile art workshop where both sighted and blind participants are invited to explore colour and texture in new ways. Guided by accessibility advocate Anna Bouw-Bolik, you’ll discover the Scripor Alphabet—a tactile colour-coding system that lets everyone, regardless of vision, experience the vibrancy of colour through touch. Local artist Artie Sandstone not only welcomes you into his vibrant studio but also invites you to join him in creating art inspired by love and peace. Paint blindfolded, explore raised lines made with puffy paint, and feel color come alive through texture, depth, and playful experimentation. Use your fingers, brushes, or any tool that sparks joy as we co-create in a shared environment without limits. Come explore, connect, play, and discover what art feels like when sight is no longer the only guide.

Blacklight Dance

May 3, 2025, 7:30–9:00 PM | Boulder Circus Center

The Trixie Room at the Boulder Circus Center was transformed into a glowing landscape of color, creativity, and connection. On May 3, our community came together for a luminous night of movement and connection. The space transformed under blacklights as participants painted themselves in glowing colors. The dance unfolded as a blend of guided and freeform movement, weaving together elements of organic dance, yoga-inspired flow, and conscious breathwork. Under the UV glow, participants explored release, presence, and creative expression—each person lighting up the room in their own way. The experience was energizing, liberating, and deeply grounding. We closed with a meditation, allowing the group to settle into calm awareness before transitioning back into the night.

This event was a joyful collaboration rooted in creativity, embodiment, and community—a reminder of how powerful it is when people gather to move, breathe, and shine together.

Touching Colors – A Journey into Tactile & Inclusive Art

April 5 | Workshops during Boulder Arts Week
Collaboration with artist Gregory Fields

This workshop shines with its innovative use of the tactile “Scripor-Alphabet,” an expanded version of Braille. The word ‘color’—transcending language, culture, or geography—becomes a universal symbol. Artists are encouraged to use color in ways that benefit the visually impaired community, transforming color into a tactile experience. This allows everyone to engage with and appreciate the vibrancy of colors through touch.

The project aims to teach the color wheel to the visually impaired community using tactile clay tiles. Participants will experiment with color on different materials. An evaluation phase will collect feedback to improve future workshops.

Anna Bouw-Bolik is the winner of the Boulder Uncharted Territory Award during Boulder Arts Week.

Benefit for Coaches Implementing Walking with Their Clients

Incorporating mindful walking sessions into coaching practices offers coaches a powerful tool to enhance client engagement and effectiveness. It allows clients to experience physical movement as a form of mindfulness, which can lead to breakthroughs in mental and emotional clarity. Walking together fosters a sense of partnership and trust between coach and client, creating a dynamic environment where insights and solutions can naturally emerge. Coaches can observe their clients in a different context, gaining deeper understanding and facilitating more impactful coaching sessions.
