A standing tradition in Eugene, this group is for high-functioning adults (18 to much older than that) on the Autism/Asperger’s spectrum. This is a safe place to share with others on the spectrum about things from living on your own to jobs to getting along with folks and so much more. Group members choose the topics, and there are from 12-20 participants each month. Michael is an experienced facilitator who is also a parent of an adult on the spectrum and an active member of the KindTree/Autism Rocks community.

Autism Rocks Festival of Art For All – 2020!
This event was a great success last year (see last year’s photos and video here) so we and our community partners are doing it again.
“By breaking down these barriers and allowing all kinds of people to gather together, laugh together, and express themselves together, it forms a positive and accepting space where these differences no longer define us.” This is what KindTree – Autism Rocks is all about!!
This event will feature art by members of our Autism Rocks Artists Guild, and artists from Bridgeway House, Allies, 4J students and OSLP. We will be emptying our warehouse of art submitted over the last 10 years in a “Make a Reasonable Offer” bin – you pick the price!
If you are an artist who would like to participate,
look below the line for the Art Submission Process…
Our 2020 partners include Lane Arts Council, Oregon Supported Living Program, Allies LLC, Bridgeway House, and 4J Schools.
| The Tentative Schedule:
1:00 – 4:45 Face Painting! |

Dear Artists,
KindTree is now accepting submissions of artwork to be considered for the 2020 Festival of Art for All.
The submission deadline is April 3, 2020.
Submission Form is HERE.
The exhibit will take place on Saturday, May 2, at Whirled Pies, 199 West 8th Ave, Eugene, from 1:00-5:00pm.
This is an opportunity for artists on the autism spectrum to be recognized for their artwork, have fun, and even make money if the artwork sells. Visual arts make up an important part of the festival. There will also be live performance art occurring at the event.
A few rules:
Artists must be on the autism spectrum.
We accept creations in painting, drawing, photography, and other media.
Submitting artwork gives KindTree permission to market the artwork and its reprints for exhibitions, online and in other venues.
There is limited space for displaying art, and although volunteers will try to show every piece of work, some may not be shown. Artists will be notified if their work will be on display at the festival.
If an artist’s work is sold, the artist will be paid 90% of the sales price.
Framed pieces must be in attractive, durable frames with hanging wire on the back. Canvases without frames may sell more easily if there is hanging wire on the back.
Pieces that do not sell can remain in our collection for future exhibits, or will need to be picked up no later than May 9, 2020. Please call or email Sherie Maddox to arrange pick-up at 360-808-3303 or sheriealicemad@gmail.com.
Most 1st Mondays of the month from 4:00 to 5:30 pm at the Healing Matrix, (E. Main Street & S. 7th) in Cottage Grove. Check the weekly calendar to confirm. No support groups or social skills activities in August.
For young adults and older. Share your challenges and successes with others on the spectrum. Discuss life issues. Seek solutions together.
Facilitated by Linney Frank.
