About the Event
Amplifying Autistic Wellbeing is a global art showcase, sponsored by the UNESCO x Seventeen Global Youth Grant Scheme, centering the voices and creative expressions of autistic people, particularly those who identify as having higher support needs.
This event invites autistic artists to explore the theme:
“What does wellbeing mean to you?”
We welcome any form of art, including:
- Painting

- Music
- Videos
- Narrative storytelling
- Drawings
- Anything else that reflects your unique vision
Submissions can be communicated using AAC, spoken language, or gestures, basically whatever best supports your way of sharing.
