This time of year always has me reflecting on our association and how much we’ve accomplished this year. I’m so thankful for members like you who truly give meaning to the work I do.
Together this past year:
- More than 1,000 people joined in Pittsburgh to be a part of an amazing in-person conference!
- More than 400 people from around the globe attended the Virtual Conference on a brand-new platform designed to create connection and enhance learning
- Thanks to art therapy advocates, Virginia’s Governor finally signed licensure regulations and Nebraska’s state legislature passed art therapy licensure
- We welcomed Art Therapy Barbie, the first Barbie representing a mental health profession!
- We celebrated our amazing members, including our Member Art Exhibitors, Authors, and outstanding presenters (in person and virtual).
None of this could have happened without your support as members. Time and again, you show up for our community and each other, whether it’s by volunteering to present at our learning opportunities or participating in a Committee—or simply by answering other members’ questions in MyAATA. Thank you!
I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for the art therapy profession, and to help amplify the work you do for your clients and communities. That’s why I’m reaching out this week, to ask you to continue to be a part of our community. Please renew your membership today!

Regardless of whether your membership is expiring this month or in the coming months, if you renew before December 15, you’ll be entered in a raffle to win one of several fun prizes: Apple AirPods, Art Therapy Barbies, courses on AATA’s Online Learning Academy, printed four-issue editions of the Art Therapy Journal, and more!
