Join American Artists Project for a morning of music, storytelling and inclusion with author Kennedy Ryan and the Variations Choir!

American Artists Project presents Harmony & Heart!
NYT and USA Today bestselling author Kennedy Ryan will take part in a moderated conversation with Pamela Benson Owens, CEO of Edge of Your Seat Consulting. Kennedy will share her journey as a mother of a son with autism, offering personal insights into the joys, challenges, and triumphs of raising a neurodivergent child and how these experiences have shaped her life and work. She will also touch on her founding of Lift 4 Autism, a charitable auction that partners with and raises funds for Kulture City. The program will also feature a special 30 minute performance by the Variations Choir, a choral group made of individuals on the autism spectrum.

For VIP ticket holders, the morning will conclude with a meet-and-greet, book signing, and the opportunity to connect personally with Kennedy and continue the conversation.

In partnership with local indie bookstore Black Pearl Books, VIP tickets will include a pre-signed copy of the indie edition of Score, along with exclusive access to a post-event meet & greet and photo opportunity with the author. VIP guests will also have access to closer, reserved seating.

The author will sign a maximum of two additional books, one of them can be personalized.
The author is happy to take photos.

Please note that post-talk meet & greet lines can become very long. For such events, we recommend arriving and checking in to the event early as that will get you into an earlier meet & greet group. For crowd management, attendees will be divided into five groups of 60.
