The Franklin Foundation held its fifth annual World Autism Awareness Day Youth Art Exhibition at the East Pavilion of the Nixon Library on March 17, along with the film screening event “Flying to the Blue Sky.” This year marked the highest participation in the art exhibition and performance by autistic children, compassionate young artists, child actors, and volunteers since the foundation’s inception. Some very prestigious painters and calligraphers from Los Angeles also contributed their meticulously prepared artworks for charity sale, and renowned musicians brought their children to perform as well. During this exhibition, nearly ten thousand dollars were raised through the auction of artworks by artists and children from Southern California. These funds will be used to support autistic children and their families.
