New Delhi, Apr 08: Dreamsphere 2026, a full-day art and cultural event celebrating the creativity and abilities of individuals on the autism spectrum, was successfully held on 5th April at the India Islamic Cultural Centre. Curated by the Arts and Souls Foundation, the event created a powerful and inclusive platform where neurodiverse artists showcased their talents across multiple disciplines.
The day witnessed an inspiring display of abstract art, live painting, and musical performances by artists on the autism spectrum. From painters and vocalists to instrumentalists, Dreamsphere highlighted not limitations, but limitless potential. Varied artworks on different themes formed the heart of the exhibition, offering deeply personal and emotionally resonant perspectives that captivated visitors.
The event attracted members and guests from the India Islamic Cultural Centre, many of whom spent hours engaging with the artists, witnessing live art creation, and appreciating the honesty, depth, and originality reflected in the artworks.

Sharing his reflections, Mr. Khurshid said, “I was deeply humbled to witness the unwavering dedication of the parents and the extraordinary talent of the artists. The artworks are honest, powerful, and deeply moving. My message to everyone, everywhere is simple: individuals on the autism spectrum are often far superior to many of us in their depth of understanding of life, their sensitivity, and their compassion.
