BLINK: Art on the Spectrum is a one-time pilot art workshop designed specifically for young children on the autism spectrum. This experience prioritizes freedom of expression, sensory exploration, and joyful mess-making, without pressure, expectations, or rigid structure.

Children will be invited to explore art at their own pace using:

• Painting and Drawing
• Sensory Play
• Dry-erase wall wallpaper
• Chalkboard wall surfaces
• Hands-on drawing tools and tactile materials

This workshop is process-based, not outcome-based—there is no “right way” to create.

• Large dry-erase wall wallpaper
• Chalkboard wallpaper for texture + contrast
• Low-stim lighting (no harsh fluorescents)
• Calm background music or quiet zones
• Clearly marked stations (but no forced rotation)

A low-pressure, open-flow studio environment.

Parent/Guardian Attendance Required

Parents or guardians must remain on-site and actively supervise their child during the workshop. BLINK facilitators guide the experience but do not provide one-on-one behavioral support or childcare.
