PATC 2026 Call for Artists

On behalf of the Office of Developmental Programs, we are pleased to invite artists on the autism spectrum to exhibit their artwork virtually during the 19th Annual Pennsylvania Autism Training Conference November 4th and 5th.

We are looking for artists on the autism spectrum to showcase their art in a virtual “art gallery.”

• Paintings
• Photography
• Greeting cards
• Fabric crafts
• Drawings
• Jewelry
• Pottery
• etc.

The art gallery will be shared during the conference, and will be linked to ODP’s website. Artists do not receive compensation for their artwork. Their participation in the art gallery is voluntary. PATC does not profit from the art display. We will share artists’ websites and contact information in the art gallery. If an artist has work available for sale, attendees can visit their website directly to explore available pieces and make purchases.
