    Ringling College Student Creates Mural For Autism Awareness

    Coconut Telegraph

    SRQ DAILY

    SATURDAY APR 2, 2016 |

    Sarasota Manatee Association for Riding Therapy (SMART) has created a mural with the Ringling College of Art and Design to light up blue for the eighth annual World Autism Awareness Day on April 2. Natalie Palumbo, a motion design major from Ringling College of Art and Design worked several days creating two murals at SMART.  Palumbo’s inspiration for artistic expression stems in part to the strong connection with her older brother Anthony who has low-verbal autism. The goal of Natalie’s Autism Awareness Mural is to help inspire the community to bring awareness about the puzzling world of autism and sensory needs.  The mural will be showcased during an Autism Awareness event on April 23 at the SMART facility, from 1-4pm.  The event will provide a day of free fun and refreshment for friends and families of those with autism. Activities include a local jazz and reggae band, a bounce house for the kids, face painting, BBQ, and soft drinks from the Rusty Bucket.

    Give Gratitude, Grateful Patient Program

    If you have been a patient at Sarasota Memorial, perhaps you can look back to when the care you received exceeded your expectations.
