Join the International SIG

If you are interested in international art therapy work, or your own practice extends globally, then consider joining the International Shared Interest Group on the MyAATA community, or during their in-person meeting at the AATA2024 Annual Conference in Pittsburgh. Students are welcome too!

If you know of an art therapist or art therapy student doing amazing work outside the United States, please invite them to join us! We’ve completely revamped the member dues structure for international members in the hopes of creating a more inclusive, global association.
