Open House: Create Your Art!

DCAFS Community and Creative Spirits! 

This Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month, we are asking our DCAFS Community to: unleash their creativity and let the world know “what does autism mean to you?”

  • Print the 8.5×11 “Create Your Art” template and bring your artistic vision to life
  • Your unique autism expression will be displayed at our DCAFS locations, on our website, and on our social media
  • Be highlighted in our weekly eNewsletter

This is your opportunity to make a real difference. Channel your passions, celebrate community, and showcase your vision of autism through your art. Together, we can ensure our collective message resonates beyond the month of April.

Join us in this creative outreach and let your art shine!
