Art Spectrums

The purpose of Art Spectrums is to enable children and teens with autism, along with their families, to enjoy the Des Moines Art Center and make memories with art. In this program, kids, ages 5 – 18, on the autism spectrum and their family members explore and make art together. Participants will visit and discuss a work of art in the museum for inspiration. Next, attendees make their own artwork in the studio, inspired by what they discovered in the Art Center galleries.
