About Us

Arts for Autism is a one night annual Broadway benefit concert where the biggest names on Broadway join performing arts students from around the country at a premier New York City theatre venue. Together we perform, spread acceptance, and inspire compassion, kindness, and understanding for those impacted by autism. We hope you'll join us for this evening celebrating hope and new beginnings as we look forward to a brighter future for all.


We embrace a judgment-free and inclusive environment for patrons with a wide range of sensory and/or communication differences, including individuals on the autism spectrum, young children, and families who would benefit from a relaxed theatre experience. Sensory-friendly space will be available in the theatre lobby during the performance should attendees need a break. 

Who Does the Concert Benefit?

We're passionate about the arts and how they can positively impact everyone, which is why each year funds raised from the Arts For Autism benefit concert will be distributed in the form of grants between $1,000 and $5,000. We have established the Arts & Community Access Grant, which can be used for any project (including arts-related) that has a direct and positive impact on the lives of individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. We will grant as many as possible until funds raised are exhausted. Grants are available for any U.S. based organization or individual and people on the autism spectrum are encouraged to apply. Funds granted must be used within twelve months of being awarded.


Our newly established advisory board will oversee the granting of funds raised at the Arts For Autism benefit concert. The board was formed in 2022 in response to community feedback about where money raised is being donated. We are excited to see where they decide to make an impact to support the autism community this year and beyond! Check our site later this summer for updates.

"This event to me is special because it shows that there isn't one way to tell a story. The power of song. The power of dance. It has a farther reach than just entertainment. We can do something. We can do something really important."

- Kelvin Moon Loh, The King and I & Spongebob Squarepants, the Broadway Musical
