Maggie, the Art Therapy Bus: Nov. 10th
Maggie, the Art Therapy Bus, will be open for visitors at the AATA Conference Nov. 10 from 12-2pm and 5-7pm. The bus helps breaks down barriers of accessibility and brings art therapy directly into communities. The bus was created by Lisa M. Lounsbury, MA, LMFT, ATR-BC, and her private practice, Art Lab Rx, LLC, and is fully ADA-compliant mobile art therapy clinic. It’s nicknamed Maggie after Margaret Naumburg.
Come by and check out Maggie, the Art Therapy Bus, for a show-and-tell tour! (There won’t be an opportunity to make art at the time.)
