The present study investigates the meaning of an experience of art based on works by Lygia Clark, held on a studio for the visual impaired, in a partnership with Projeto Acesso: Educational Support Center Specialized in the Visual Impaired, in Sao Paulo city, Brazil. The research objective was to, through interviews conducted after two years of experience in the studio, receive testimony of two young congenitally blind people about this artistic experience, and its meaning in their lives. The rationale behind this thesis contains a theoretical review on the concepts of experience, aesthetic experience and the experience of space in the body, based on theorists who followed the same line of the phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty. To understand the world of the blind people, we rely on phenomenological about the person with visual impairment of Elcie Masini. The Lygia Clark project was based on researchers who produced studies of her works and their connections with the merleaupontinian phenomenology, describing the context of the arts studio and the development of materials adapted to visually impaired persons. The interviews analysis - whose main line was perceptual experience within the studio - has shown that students understood the Lygia Clark project proposal and were able to invent new forms of expression. The reflections on the meanings of experience in the studio for the research subjects have shown that, for them, art was important as an opening to the world and to expand knowledge
