The American Artists Project’s Variations Concert showcased the incredible talents of our Variations Choir, a group of neurodiverse individuals on the autism spectrum who come together to create music and community. The inaugural concert, held June 7, 2025, was a joyful celebration of self-expression, connection, and creativity through song. Each performance reflected the unique voices and strengths of our singers, reminding us of the power of inclusion in the arts.
