Despite Covid, in 2021 The Art of Autism nonprofit continued our mission to empower autistic people and their families through participation in the arts.
Our goal in 2022 is to hire an Executive Director.
Your Giving Tuesday donation will support our mission and help us to our goal of sustainability.
