Prodigy artist returns to Butler Institute of American Art

YOUNGSTOWN — Autumn de Forest, the 14-year-old art prodigy, will return to the Butler Institute of American Art on Wick Avenue on Wednesday and Thursday as part of International Museum Day.

Autumn was at the Butler in April for the opening of her exhibition there. Although the Las Vegas resident has already sold more than $1 million worth of her works, the Butler exhibition is her first in a museum.

International Museum Day is a global celebration of museum designed to underscore their cultural importance.

Students from throughout the Mahoning Valley will meet Autumn during her visit to the Butler, where she will share her artistic techniques at workshops.
