Rainbow Artists

Rainbow Artists: Art and Autism across the Spectrum is an educational initiative designed exclusively for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Rainbow Artists utilize creative art-making activities that allow for rich visual expressions that are often untapped due to difficulties in verbal communication, social relations, and sensory development. Designed with three educational components, studio, galleries and our hands-on ArtExplorium Loft, the Rainbow Artists programs use art and art-making activities to pro mote socialization and social interaction of children with autism. For more information about the program contact MOCA’s education department (904) 366-6911 ext. 210 / ekearns[at]mocajacksonville.org.
