Due to disruptions in funding, Autism Arts in Halifax and Yarmouth will not be offered as part of our fall programming.

For 20 years, Autism Arts has provided opportunities for Autistic people to connect, create and explore their creativity through a partnership between the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (AGNS) and Autism Nova Scotia.

We understand this may be disappointing news for our community. These programs are currently suspended while we explore options for continuing Autism Arts in these regions.

Please stay tuned for upcoming fall programming, which we’ll be sharing soon.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support.
