Empowered by Art - 2024 National Art Exhibit & Contest

The CIP Annual Student Art Show, coinciding with Autism Acceptance Month in April, provides a platform for neurodiverse students across all five CIP Centers nationwide to showcase their artwork in a Juried Art Exhibit and contest at the Good Purpose Gallery in The Berkshires of Lee, Massachusetts.

This prestigious event offers enrolled CIP students the invaluable experience of participating in a professional Gallery show, where they can share their passion for visual arts and express their unique perspectives. It serves as a celebration of individuality, nurturing the growth and development of their creative talents. Additionally, the exhibit fosters connections among CIP Centers, students, The Good Purpose Gallery, and the local community, creating a vibrant network of support and appreciation for neurodiverse artists.

Judges for 2024  included Dr. Michael McManmon, CIP Founder and Artist; Kerry Sullivan, Graphic Designer; and Mark Morganstein, Professional Artist. A big "Thank you" goes out to all Artists who submitted pieces for our 2024 show and a huge "Congratulations" to all the accepted artists for having your work displayed in The Good Purpose Gallery!
