Art for Autism (AFA) 2016, our infamous Gala, Dinner and Dance took place Saturday, October 1st at the beautiful Sheraton in Downtown Seattle. With stunning views of the Sound and the Seattle skyline, it was a magnificent setting to celebrate and support NBA’s work, cause, and mission. Our theme this year, “Glitz, Glamour and Gatsby”, was enjoyed by many- from pearls to fur, and everything in between, the outfits were stunning, and the evening dazzling!
A huge thank you to all our fantastic committee members who worked hard to make Art for Autism 2016 the best auction yet!
