Exhibition

World Autism Awareness Week 2021

Exhibition of creativity

"This is me"

Welcome to our exhibition! We invited members of the local autism community to submit photos of their creative pieces in any medium to exhibit for World Autism Awareness Week 2021, 29th March to 4th April.

This exhibition was open to people of any age on the spectrum, amateur or professional.

We asked exhibitors to tell us through their peices what autism means to them. We wanted to create a positive message that explains and educates. The exhibition is being shown on our website and on our Facebook page over the course of the week.

Thank you to all our exhibitors!

Exhibitor: Natalie Priest

Exhibitor: Daniel Jeffery. "This represents my inner feelings in situations where I feel overwhelmed by sensory overload"

Exhibitor: Daniel Cosby, age 11. "This is my arm and I like Minecraft"

Exhibitor: Sam Lewis, age 15

Exhibitor: Sam. "Baking helps me feel calm at times when stress is high. I’m able to take my stress into my bread making and when I’m kneading the dough, I can put all my stress into that."

Exhibitor: Daniel Jeffery. "This is my sense of peace and happiness when I'm alone and not around other people"

Exhibitor: Tanya Long. "I sculpted him in clay to begin with, then made a glove mold before pouring him in silicone. I then made an outfit for him. I decided to name him " River" and he is about 12" long. He looks and feels like a real baby and I enjoy cuddling him"
