    Community Workshop with Ascendigo Autism Services
    Lights, Camera, CREATE!
    
    Canceled

    Taking inspiration from AAM exhibiting artist Barbara Kasten’s colorful installations and photographs, we extend a special invitation to our community partners at Ascendigo Autism Services and all other families with children on the autism spectrum. Artmaking will be tailored to encourage all art abilities and to celebrate the different ways we see and experience the world. Participants will combine geometric paper shapes and recycled props to create temporary tabletop stage sets. Attendees, please bring mobile devices to photograph the artworks and stage set created!
