From 19 April, Stephen Wiltshire an artist with an extraordinary talent will draw an image of Sydney, which he will do from memory following a climb up Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Stephen has been invited by Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) to coincide with Autism Month. His visit has been made possible by major sponsor British Airways and partner Novotel Hotels.

Stephen Wiltshire comments: ‘I am very excited about visiting Australia for the first time and drawing buildings in Sydney like the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and especially the Tower. The city looks beautiful and I know I will really enjoy my visit.’

The public is invited to watch Stephen at work, and to see a collection of his earlier works on display at Customs House, Circular Quay in Sydney, from 19 to 24 April 2010.

Venue: Customs House, Circular Quay

Admission: Free (donations welcomed)

Time: Customs House is open from 8am – Midnight – the exhibition will be open to the public at all times
