New Paltz Art Therapy Association

The New Paltz Art Therapy Association is officially up and running! This is a student organization I founded and am currently the president of! Working with the many excited members of the club, I hope to bring more awareness of the field to the campus and community alike. We will achieve this by inviting accredited art therapists to lecture on campus about their practice and personal experiences with art therapy. We will also spread the energy of healing art by volunteering in the local community at organizations that support this growingly accepted notion. Our community involvement will help to bring about more substantial and permanent opportunities such as internships and jobs for club members.

We will be meeting every Monday at 6:00 pm in the Smiley Art Building!!!
