Alternative Expression
Alternative Expression is a series of free creativity-based classes and events for the Autistic Community of NYC.
Autism is often pathologized, and the different ways we express ourselves are often treated as dysfunctional or abnormal. The purpose of this program is to explore, celebrate and embrace alternative methods of expression and communication.
Our weekly classes will explore different interdisciplinary creative techniques, and culminate in a multimedia art exhibition in March of 2024. All of the classes are beginner friendly and require no strong commitments - attendees are welcome to pick and choose which classes they’d like to attend, and participation in the exhibition is optional!
All materials will be provided! This program is funded through a generous grant from the West Side Community Fund.
Would you like to feature your works or perform in our upcoming exhibition?
Please fill out the Artists/Performer Submission Form by March 4th!
