Do you or someone you know identify as a neurodivergent artist?

Yes And I Have A Few Questions Like:

To submit your or your person's art, please reach out to our organization via email or phone and provide a description of the artwork along with your preferred method of submission. We'll guide you through the process and ensure your artwork is considered with care and respect (we can even work towards ways you or said artist can earn commission with their work).
We recommend seeing our location for yourself physically! To inquire about renting out the gallery space, please schedule an appointment with our team via email or phone. We'll be happy to discuss your needs and provide you with all the necessary information regarding rental procedures and availability.
Bring them along! If you know a group of artists and they all have varying interests within art and their needs, we recommend following up and inviting them to our next event. It will be nothing short of inspiring and by letting us know prior via email/call of their interests about the space, we can arrange a class and a few other services we usually provide (and can try catering to) as well.
