Representing Art Therapy in a First-Ever National Convening on Arts and Health
By AATA President Nadia Paredes, MA, LMFT, ATR
I had the privilege to attend both the White House and NEA Summit on Arts and Culture and the Arts and Health Pre-Summit Caucus. These first-of-its-kind convenings brought together policymakers, arts advocates, and artists to collaborate on how art can contribute to the health and well-being of individual and communities.

I urge the art therapy community to connect and collaborate, and create opportunities to train and learn with the next generation of art therapists.” — Bani Malhotra, PhD, ATR-BC
