2024-25 Art Show

Donated $5,000 to Down Syndrome Association of Central Texas

This year marks my 5th year of hosting an art show through Shreya’s Atelier’s Art for a Cause, and I am beyond thrilled to see how it has grown and continued to raise awareness, dispel myths about disabilities, and support incredible causes.

​

In February 2025, I had the honor of hosting my 5th annual art show—an event that has become a deeply meaningful tradition in my life. What started as a small initiative to share my artwork has blossomed into a platform for advocacy, creativity, and community. This year, I am especially proud to announce a donation of $5,000 to the Down Syndrome Association of Central Texas (DSACT)—an organization I first partnered with in 2020 and one that continues to inspire me with its mission and impact.

 

The 2025 art show featured a vibrant mix of artistic styles and mediums, each piece crafted with purpose and passion. From Clay on Canvas and Bas Relief to Palette Knife, Coffee paintings, and beyond, every artwork carried a story—one of resilience, acceptance, and joy. This year’s theme was deeply rooted in celebrating neurodiversity and the importance of inclusion, values that DSACT embodies in all that they do.

​

Partnering with DSACT once again was a full-circle moment for me. Their dedication to empowering individuals with Down syndrome and fostering inclusive communities aligns seamlessly with the vision behind Shreya’s Atelier’s Art for a Cause. I am humbled and grateful for the opportunity to support their efforts through this year’s show.

​​

Thank you for standing with me on this journey and for being a part of five unforgettable years of art with purpose. Here’s to many more years of creating beauty and building a more inclusive world—one brushstroke at a time.

"Shreya has been an incredible advocate and leader within the DSACT community, using her creativity and passion to make a meaningful impact. As a sibling of one of our members, she has not only championed inclusion through leading a Buddy Walk® team but has also helped foster connections among other siblings through social events. Her dedication shines through in this art show fundraiser, and we are so grateful for her generosity and commitment to supporting individuals with Down syndrome and their families."
