Explore Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh is known for its steep hillsides — and more than 400 bridges, most of which are painted in a gold color. It’s the inspiration for the AATA2024 logo and conference theme.

Pittsburgh is also home to some world-class museums, including the Carnegie Museum of Art, one of the most dynamic art institutions in the country. The Andy Warhol Museum holds the largest collection of Warhol art in the world. And the Mattress Factory features contemporary art created by artists in residence.

Get Inspired in the Open Art Studio!

One of the most cherished spaces at any AATA conference is the Open Art Studio. It’s a special place for attendees to learn new skills, connect with each other — or just make art, intentionally. At AATA2024, we will also offer mini-sessions to help you experiment with new techniques or art supplies.

Become an Exhibitor or Sponsor

The conference offers organizations and art supply companies visibility through event marketing, digital platforms, and promotional materials. In addition, sponsors can showcase their supplies or offerings in the Exhibit Hall, or provide hands-on demonstrations for attendees. 

Gain distinction among the art therapy community, including art therapy practitioners, clinicians, researchers, educators, and students!
