"CALL FOR ART PROJECTS"
FOR THE
McMURRAY A.R.T.S. CENTER
A-utistic R-ecreational T-raining S-ervices
My name is Sandy McMurray and I'm the Founder and Executive Director to the
McMurray A.R.T.S. Center, based in Macomb County Michigan.
The Center is in it's incipient stages of strategic development and
currently we are looking for "art work" from children and young adults
affected by the autism spectrum. These art pieces will be professionally
framed and displayed throughout local Art Galleries and metropolitan Museums
within the country. Our objective is to collect art pieces from all around
the United States; ideally, we would like to have pieces from each state
represented.
The McMurray A.R.T.S. Center will display the selected pieces on behalf of
the United States at the W.A.O. (World Autism Organization) first
International Congress set forth in Melbourne, Australia in November 2002.
There will be representation from physicians, teaching professionals and
parents from all around the world partaking in the W.A.O. International
Congress.
Art projects can be of any medium and size. Include on a separate entry:
stud
ent name, address, phone number, age, state/country, and title/caption of
project. This information will be formatted to the finished/framed project
(i,e., name, age, and title).
Submitted projects will be selected by the Executive Board of the Center.
Any entry not chosen for display purposes will be returned to owner. All
selected project participants will be notified via phone and mail. A release
form will be forwarded to the student's parent/guardian for publication
purposes.
The Center's mission is to promote community awareness and advocacy on
behalf of our loved one's affected by the autism spectrum;
To uphold the Charter of Rights for people with autism; adopted protocol by
the International Association Autism Europe;
THE RIGHT of people with autism should share the same rights and privileges
enjoyed by all of the general population throughout the world, where such
are
appropriate and in the best interests of the person with autism.
