This exhibition is for Autistic people. Self-diagnosed, peer-reviewed or formally diagnosed, all welcome. Thriving Autistically 2026 welcomes art in many forms and at every level of experience. You can enter more than once, use your name or be shown as Anonymous, and include an optional artist statement.

Every entry is reviewed before it appears in the exhibition. Physical and 3D work can use up to eight photos, which is the reliable sculpture fallback for this exhibition.

What is public and what stays private

Only approved work is displayed. Public information can include the title, medium, artist statement, disclosed AI use, uploaded work, and the display name and links you chose. Anonymous work is labelled Anonymous and excludes your name and links from the public data.

Your email, member status, consent record and moderation notes stay in Neurokindred's private Airtable moderation table. Uploaded files are stored in a private Cloudflare R2 bucket and are served publicly only after approval or through your expiring preview link.
