Back by popular demand…. Night of Aphasia Arts

 

The National Aphasia Association (NAA)  is excited to bring back the wonderful display of artistic expression that has made this event a fan favorite!  

 

What Is Night of Aphasia Arts ?

An online gala that features recorded performances, visual art, photography, poetry and so much more.  All art submissions are created by persons with aphasia!  

 

As our friend, Mark Harder from the Mid-Atlantic Aphasia Conference, says:   

 

 “Whether you write poetry, sing in a chorus, play guitar, sew stuffed animals, paint murals, or dance in your living room, we want to see what you create because your art shows us how you see the world.”

 

When is Night of Aphasia Arts ?

 

Tuesday, April 30th at 7pm EST. 

 

How Do I Attend this wonderful event? 

The event will be held on Zoom as a webinar.  A link to this special program will be provided and it will also be recorded for our YouTube channel!
