Call for Adult Artists with Asperger’s Syndrome
 
Andy Warhol, Thomas Edison, and Albert Einstein are all thought to have had 
Asperger’s Syndrome (AS). Affected individuals usually have normal to
superior 
intelligence, but sustained social impairments making traditional employment

difficult. AS is an innate neurological condition that promotes hyperfocus
on 
intense interests. With supports—creativity and innovation can flourish.
Those 
with AS may make remarkable works of art, and major contributions to our 
world. 
 
We are looking for works by artists over 18 years old, who have been 
diagnosed with AS. Two dimensional art and small sculpture accepted. Works
available 
for sale. No commission charged.
 
Submission deadline:  June 15, 2007
 
Please submit by email to Kathy Clark at ktigheclark at aim,com, 617-491-0280. 
The Art Committee of the Asperger’s Association of New England will select
up 
to three pieces from each artist. Framing will be provided. 
 
There is no entry fee or framing fee.
 
Art will be exhibited in three locations:
·      John Hancock Center, Boston, MA on September 28, 2007 during the 
Asperger’s Association Annual Conference with anticipated attendance of 800
-1000 
people

·      Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center, Cambridge, MA for the month of 
January 2008

·      Honan-Allston branch of the Boston Public Library, Allston, MA for
