Filed as General | Comment (0)Art Therapy – 2011 Year in Review (Part 1)
As we reflect on years past and especially 2011, we realize what an amazing impact and influence the Art Therapy site has had on the art community and especially the art therapy community at large. We’ve seen many more art therapy blogs, articles and social media communities appear online in the last year than ever before, which is fantastic and a sign that our goal to help spread the word about art and creativity continues to be a success!

In our last post, Is Art Therapy a Good Career? An Outlook on Art Therapy, we apparently caused a bit of a stir among some people due to an image we posted along with that article. Continue reading »
Filed as General | Comments (16)Happy Memorial Day From Art Therapy
While we concentrate on art therapy most of the time (and how art therapy can help vets with PTSD), we also like to take time to acknowledge a variety of important things.
That said, we want to say thank you to all the men and women who have valiantly served the United States and who are currently serving in the Armed Forces. Regardless of what you think about government or politics, it’s important to appreciate what all these men and women have done to preserve our rights and freedoms among many other things.
Please take some time to reflect about these wonderful people and their families. If you like, feel free to leave a comment and tell others about people who deserve to be acknowledged. Others need to hear these stories!
Happy Memorial Day
Filed as General | Comments (3)October Update & Thank You
I’d like to thank our readers and visitors for making this site what it has become over the last year and a half. It has truly become a great resource for people interested in art and art therapy. We’ve opened the world of art therapy to thousands and thousands of people since its inception and we’ve done a great job of promoting art therapy around the world. A lot of that is because of you. So, thank you!
I’d also like to give a quick update around some new items on the site. You may have noticed that we’ve started doing Online Roundups. This is a way to catch up on what’s been happening with art therapy in the news and on the web, but it’s also a way for us to highlight some interesting art-related items as well. We hope you enjoy these, and feel free to suggest any sites or articles you think might fit by email (arttherapyblog@gmail.com) or twitter (@arttherapy). You can also become a fan of ours on Facebook.
We are also creating an art therapy schools section to help those searching for schools and programs. In addition to this, we’ll also be focusing a few articles and posts around art therapy education, becoming an art therapist, etc. If you know of any good schools or programs or if any art therapists would like to promote their alma mater, please let us know. Thanks, and we look forward to spreading the good word about art, art therapy, creativity, and their many benefits.
Thank you!

Angela Harrison originally left these comments on the site, but I thought they deserved to be shared and thusly their own post. There’s a few comments, but I thought they were very moving. Enjoy, and thank you Angela for sharing your story with us. Continue reading »
Filed as General | Comments (2)Share Your Art Therapy Experience & Promote Art Therapy
Have you been positively affected by art therapy? Have you participated in an art therapy workshop? Have you benefited from the creative process of art in any way? If so, we want to hear from you!
We are hoping to promote art therapy and share people’s art therapy experiences on the web as it has been on a decline over the last 4 years. How can you help spread the word about art therapy? Well, there’s lots of ways! You can tell people about your experiences and how beneficial they were for you. You can share your experience with people who visit our site to learn about art therapy (click here for more information). And you can tell people about this site, whether it’s by word of mouth, through your website or blog, through your social network, or whatever particular medium you prefer to communicate with your friends, family, general public, etc.
We encourage creativity…you can write a poem, tell a story, share images of your art therapy artwork, or anything else you can think of. Learn how you can help promote art therapy and share your art therapy experience.
Thanks, and let’s encourage the discussion of art therapy on the web!
Filed as General | Comments (2)August Update
Just wanted to give my loyal readers a heads up that I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth! It’s been a little hectic this summer including a grandmother potentially passing away, family visiting, and various other going-ons. Anyhow, I haven’t been able to post as much as I would like, but I assure you I’ll be posting something very soon. I’ve got a few ideas, but if there’s anything that you all would like me to write about, please leave a comment below. More art therapy activities? Any particular topics? Want to see more artwork? Anything else? Let me know if there are any special requests!
Thank you for supporting art therapy!
Filed as General | Comments (4)June Update
Hello my loyal readers! Sorry I’ve been slacking on the posts the last few weeks, I went on vacation for a little bit and have been trying to get back in the swing of things. I was down in sunny Florida where I was able to sneak in a little fishing, some fun in the sun, and some well-needed relaxation. Anyhow, just wanted to let you know I’m working on writing some more posts so stay tuned…
Thanks!
