Roslyn Village Gallery hosts art show, sale for artists on autism spectrum
Quote:
The works of Alec Leto, Alexa Krevatas and Andrew King will be on display from 3 to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Gallery owner Marsha Tarlow said 50 percent of the sales go to the artist and the other half is split between Life’s Worc, a nonprofit that provides comprehensive services and support to more than 2,300 people with developmental disabilities and autism in Queens and across Long Island, Spectrum Designs, a clothing manufacturer that is one of the largest employers of adults with autism in the country that recently moved to Port Washington, as well as the gallery.
“This is not an art show about autism,” Tarlow said. “This is a showcase for three talented artists who happen to be autistic.”
