Staten Island, NY, June 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Chelsea Financial Services proudly announces its sponsorship of AusomeTech’s upcoming ‘Unspoken Brilliance: The Artists with Autism Exhibit’ and AusomeTech’s 4th Annual ‘Proclamation Day (Scratch) Event’, both to be held at the College of Staten Island (CSI) starting June 27th.
Held at the College of Staten Island Library Gallery, the art exhibit features original artwork from local neurodiverse artists. This year’s art exhibit honors the memory of Diego Martinez, affectionately known as the ‘MTA Legend.’ AusomeTech closes the exhibit with ‘Proclamation Day’ on July 26th, featuring Guest Speaker Ms. Aneva Ezell, who inspires attendees with her messages of empowerment, inclusion, and the importance of amplifying neurodiverse voices in education and the arts.
“This year’s exhibit and ‘Proclamation Day (Scratch) Event’ offer a vibrant, inclusive space for creativity, community, and celebration,” stated Darlene Bowman, Founder of AusomeTech. “I want to thank Chelsea Financial Services for their continued support of our mission. Their sponsorship played a vital role in making this year’s ‘Unspoken Brilliance’ Art Exhibit and Auction possible, allowing our young adults with autism and other cognitive learning differences to showcase their artistic talents in a professional setting.”
“We are excited to sponsor another amazing event with AusomeTech,” stated John Pisapia, President of Chelsea Financial Services. “We have been a continued supporter of AusomeTech’s mission, and are very thankful for what Ms. Bowman and AusomeTech are doing in tech education for individuals on the spectrum. Adding creativity in art and encouraging artistic expression in an exhibit like this can really bring the community together.”
Bowman, the founder of AusomeTech, has dedicated over 21 years to teaching science and technology to young adults with autism and other cognitive learning differences. She launched AusomeTech to address a critical gap in computer science education for alternate assessment students after high school. Through crowdfunding efforts, AusomeTech made significant progress toward funding its upcoming summer events. When Chelsea Financial Services learned about the organization’s mission and its urgent need, they generously stepped in as a key sponsor—helping bring both the ‘Unspoken Brilliance’ Art Exhibit and the Proclamation Day ‘Scratch’ Event to life for the Staten Island community
“We are incredibly grateful for the continued community support we receive from Chelsea Financial Services,” said Bowman. “Their sponsorship played a vital role in making this year’s ‘Unspoken Brilliance’ Art Exhibit and Auction possible, allowing our young adults with autism and other cognitive learning differences to showcase their artistic talents in a professional setting.”
