Neuroinclusion & Neurodiversity Under One Roof – The People’s Roof!

To celebrate March’s National Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Month and National Autism Acceptance Month in April, Creative Philadelphia’s Art In City Hall program has created Neuroinclusion & Neurodiversity Under One Roof – The People’s Roof! It’s an engaging exhibition organized by the Autistic Art Coalition of Philadelphia (AACOP) and its community partners. The exhibit is comprised of 75 artists from the Autistic Art Coalition of Philadelphia, along with a long list of community partners. The Autistic Art Coalition of Philadelphia was founded in 2022 by photographer-artist Colleen Ott. As a former Community Autism Peer Specialist, Ott recruited artists. The goals were to foster acceptance and educate the public about the value of neuroinclusion and neurodiversity while creating a welcoming community of creativity and artistic expression. To mark the occasion, the city’s Creative Philadelphia presented a mayoral proclamation recognizing March as “National Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Acceptance Month” last month at a City Hall ceremony. Free, 9 a.m. EST to 5 p.m. EST. Weekdays City Hall (northeast corners of  2^nd-and-4^th-floor hallways). 215-686-8446 or https://aacophilly.org/ or https://taconylab.org/.
