You may have read our story about the Spirit of Huntington, which describes itself as, “a nonprofit organization that ignites the passion of students of all ages and abilities for creative expression that transforms lives.”
What we’re talking about here is the story of it’s founder, Erich Preis, and a beautiful documentary crafted to tell his story.
The Spirit of the Spirit of Huntington Art Center - Meet Erich
According to the Trinity Community Art Center social media post, “The world saw autism. Erich saw a canvas. And everything changed”…”His story is not about what autism prevented him from doing. It’s about what art makes possible.”
What: Screening of Autism Paints, a documentary by David Stagnari
When: Sunday, September 13 at 11am
Hosted by: Father Andrew Garnett and Trinity Community Art Center
Where: Trinity Episcopal Church Gym, 130 Main St, Northport
The event is free and open to the public. According to the post, “it will be followed by a lecture and roundtable discussion exploring Erich’s journey, his art, adversity, inclusion, and the extraordinary difference one person can make in the lives of thousands.”
Erich hopes you can make it!

Thank you, God, for Dee Thompson; for her love, for her humility, for her courage, for her endurance, for her dedication, her hope, humor and wit and thank you, God, for Dolores Rose Thompson, God’s good and faithful servant.”
