Ringling Alumni Inspires Autism Community

Coconut Telegraph

On February 23 Truman Adams, a former Ringling Graduate, started and completed a mural at the Fiorelli Winery. This mural was created to inspire the Sarasota and Bradenton communities to rally behind local autism organization Face Autism. Ringling students and graduates have helped support various community efforts in the past but this particular project spoke deeply to the heart of Truman Adams. Adams has a twenty one year old daughter who suffers from various diagnoses including autism. When asked about the mural he said, “This piece was my contribution to helping with autism. I have a daughter on the spectrum and I know how hard it can be for the child and the family.” Current efforts are underway to help raise awareness about autism to garner additional support to address the growing needs within our community. Truman recently returned from an International art competition in Dubai for the Best 3D Street Painting where he was one of only three US artists to be invited.
