Heroes For Autism

The artists presented in the HEROES for Autism exhibition and silent auction have all donated their work to raise awareness and support for Autism Speaks. Curator Greg Cohen has selected photography from the multi-talented cast and crew of NBC’s HEROES to showcase alongside work by some of the nation’s most celebrated artists with autism.

Autism is a rapidly growing disorder which inhibits one’s ability to communicate, and often times prevents people from functioning in society without assistance.  Eye contact is rare, and the inability to speak is common.  Despite these challenges, (or perhaps due to them,) the pieces on display offer clear bold voices, representing artists whose only connection to the world around them at times is their art.
