Autism Initiative & The Children’s Museum of the Arts Short film My City & My Home

Last winter, our young artists came together and worked on their short film that represented their community. Both, teaching artist and young artists collaborated in what soon became a vision! Throughout this film you will be able to capture the creativity but most importantly the element of inclusion behind it as we see families working together. Every piece of material used tells a story. Friends are we! After school art program allowed our artist to interact with one another and establish artistic memories that they can share with all of us.
