Blueprint for Inclusion
Collaborate for Community
Help Us Create the Blueprint for Inclusion
Through the AEC Blueprint for Inclusion, we serve as our community guide for building acceptance and belonging for people of all abilities through creative collaboration.
This initiative encourages AEC staff and center members to think outside of the box to broaden our impact, and invites community members to partner with us in new and exciting ways.

Past Events
Our inaugural Blueprint for Inclusion project featured a collaborative public art project showcasing the unique bond between pets and their families. Called Hear Me, See Me, Accept Me, this progressive public art mural creation depicts how the human-pet connection can positively impact mental health and well-being, and can provide life lessons for us all on acceptance and belonging.
