Introducing the Art Therapy Education Section

October 12th

This is a quick update to let you know that we’re adding an Art Therapy Education section to help out those interested in becoming professional art therapists, or interested in expanding their knowledge and skills with an art therapy education.

The schools section has been updated with schools from a variety of states and one from Canada. We hope to add more as we learn about them. We’d love it if you added any recommendations, testimonials, or even just support for your alma mater in the comments.

We will be expanding the schools and education section as time goes on, but if you have any suggestions for what we should add to either section, please leave these in the comments, we’d really appreciate it!
