One Book, One Philadelphia: A Beautiful Spectrum Mural Arts Workshop

Immerse yourself in a visual presentation and take part in creative, interactive sensory activities as Mural Arts Philadelphia looks back on A Beautiful Spectrum, a project that speaks to the complexities of autism. Artist Philip Adams engaged youth and families to address stigma related to autism, the challenges associated with the diagnosis, and the inherent strengths of individuals and of the autism community.

This program will explore the creation and impact of A Beautiful Spectrum by Mural Arts’s Porch Light Program and the project partner SPIN-NET Philadelphia Autism Center for Excellence.

The Porch Light program is a joint collaboration between Mural Arts Philadelphia and the City of Philadelphia’s Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disability Services.
