This year we have two different calls for art. Both will be a part of the October 2008 online exhibit. We have the open call and a new puzzle pin call. We accept work from all artists including artists with autism spectrum disorders. The deadline is September 10, 2008. All money will be donated
to Autism Speaks through the Washington, DC
Walk Now for Autism.

Open Call for Art
All art is welcome. Painting, drawing,
photography, collage, mixed media, book arts, jewelry, fiber, crafts, etc.
Artwork does not need to be related to autism. Everything
-- except that which may be considered pornographic or offensive
-- is welcome. Since works will be mailed, please help us keep costs down
by submitting a small piece. Try not to go beyond 18 inches in any
direction. Frames and
mattes are
optional. Remember to include a price for your piece. Click here to see some of the art already received.

Puzzle Pin Project
The puzzle piece is a symbol used by the autism community. You might have seen the puzzle ribbon or the blue puzzle piece lapel pin worn by celebrities. We would like to take this idea and add an artsy flair. You can alter a puzzle piece or make one from scratch. Paint, draw, collage, whatever you do best then turn it into a pin. It can have an autism theme or anything you like. The pins will be sold for a donation of $25 each. Here are some examples...

The Sale: Art
work will be available online during the month of October at www.artnowforautism.com. We also hope to have a display table at the Washington, DC Walk Now for Autism on November 8th. Any unsold
work will be returned to the artist in November.
All money raised will
be donated to Autism Speaks through its Walk Now for Autism.
Deadline: Art must be received by September
10, 2008. This will give us time to create the online exhibit, publicity postcards and other materials, and new items in the Cafe Press shop.
Fees: There is
no fee to be in this show. Money from the sale of art will go directly
to
Autism Speaks. If you like, you can also include a monetary donation
to Autism Speaks with
your
submission.
