MOCA Autism Creates

An art education initiative designed for children and families with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and other differences. Registration is based on Family Tickets, with each ticket covering attendance for more than one individual. While children with ASD and other differences can struggle with verbal communication, social relations, and sensory development, creative art-making activities enable them to foster new means of self-expression and communication. Autism Creates harnesses art and art-making activities as means of promoting expression and social interaction among children with ASD and their teachers, caregivers, and peers. Created in 2007, this innovative program, previously called Rainbow Artists and Art Aviators, and its results have been nationally recognized by museum associations and healthcare providers alike. Monthly workshops are hosted on-site at MOCA Jacksonville for children with ASD, ages 6 and older, and their families. Families will create art and participate in sensory activities. Join us the second & third Saturday of each month from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. There is no cost to attend but space is limited and registration is required. Only register once per family.
