Night of Aphasia Arts 2026: More Than Words

A national celebration of creative expression by people living with aphasia.

Art, music, writing, movement, video, and digital works all communicate meaning—without relying on spoken language. Night of Aphasia Arts honors these many ways of expressing identity, emotion, and connection.

What Is Night of Aphasia Arts?

Night of Aphasia Arts (NOAA) is an annual event hosted by the National Aphasia Association that showcases creative work by people with aphasia.

Each year, artists share their work in a virtual gallery and live event that highlights expression in all forms—not just speech.

We are excited for this year’s event!
