About this Event

BLINK: Art on the Spectrum


🎨 A Sensory-Friendly Art Workshop for Children Ages 1–6

Date: Saturday, February 7
Time: 1:00–3:00 PM
Location: 400 Kennedy St NW, Washington, DC
Capacity: 15 children
Cost: $40 per child

MAX 20 KIDS PER SESSION

BLINK: Art on the Spectrum is a one-time pilot art workshop designed specifically for young children on the autism spectrum. This experience prioritizes freedom of expression, sensory exploration, and joyful mess-making, without pressure, expectations, or rigid structure.

Children will be invited to explore art at their own pace using:

  • Painting and Drawing
  • Sensory Play
  • Dry-erase wall wallpaper
  • Chalkboard wall surfaces
  • Hands-on drawing tools and tactile materials

This workshop is process-based, not outcome-based—there is no “right way” to create.

  • Large dry-erase wall wallpaper
  • Chalkboard wallpaper for texture + contrast
  • Low-stim lighting (no harsh fluorescents)
  • Calm background music or quiet zones
  • Clearly marked stations (but no forced rotation)

A low-pressure, open-flow studio environment.


Parent/Guardian Attendance Required

Parents or guardians must remain on-site and actively supervise their child during the workshop. BLINK facilitators guide the experience but do not provide one-on-one behavioral support or childcare.
