On 13 April 2022, the National Museum of Modern Art hosted the second visit of the protégés from the Centre for Autism. The school group, accompanied by the Centre’s professional staff, visited the exhibition Machine in the Garden, and then participated in an art workshop designed especially for them. They found the work Texas Truck of the contemporary Croatian artist Jadranka Fatur, by far the most impressive, which they used as an inspiration for drawings with wooden crayons.

The NMMA would like to thank the Centre for Autism and its protégés for regular visits, recognising the importance of art in their creative development.
