🎨 | Year in Rewind 2025
2025 was a landmark year for The Autistic Art Coalition of Philadelphia ( ), with events and exhibitions held throughout Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley.
We proudly presented our 5th Art Exhibition at Philadelphia City Hall, spanning two floors:
4th Floor – The People’s Floor
2nd Floor – The Mayor’s Floor
On this same day, AACOP received a Proclamation from Madam Mayor Cherelle L. Parker, officially naming March 2025 as Intellectual & Developmental Disability Acceptance Month.
On April 3, 2025, Colleen accepted—on behalf of AACOP—a City Resolution declaring April as Autism Acceptance Month. Introduced by nicorourkephl, for Councilmember Kendra Brooks-Mack
This marked the first year the City of Philadelphia Government officially removed the word “Awareness” from the resolution.
Our 5th Art Exhibition was on display from February 28 through April 25, 2025. This slideshow includes images from a special field trip to City Hall, where Colleen and artists from the Liberty Resources class toured the exhibition and City Hall with Tu Huynh, Curator at Creative Philadelphia.
We continued the momentum with:
6th Art Exhibition at Mural Arts Philadelphia’s Tacony LAB Community Arts Center
7th Art Exhibition at State Representative Joseph C. Hohenstein Temple University Disability Summit
