Summary

A remarkable story of talent and inspiration as world-renowned artist Stephen Wiltshire, known for his extraordinary ability to recreate city skylines from memory, visits Wisconsin as part of the Global Savant Gathering. After a single helicopter tour over Milwaukee, Wiltshire produced a stunning three-meter-wide panorama of the city entirely from memory. We discuss the event’s mission to celebrate the unique abilities of people with savant syndrome, the legacy of autism researcher Dr. Darold Treffert, and the search for a permanent home for this one-of-a-kind piece of Milwaukee history.
