Become an Exhibitor or Sponsor
AATA2025 offers organizations, educational institutions, and art supply companies visibility through event marketing, digital platforms, and promotional materials.
The in-person conference’s Exhibit Hall is in the literal heart of the conference, which is the Open Art Studio. Our new virtual platform empowers sponsors to showcase their supplies or offerings in the Exhibit Hall, or provide live, virtual demonstrations to attendees.
Please contact the AATA National Staff at info@arttherapy.org to set up an exploratory call.
