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!

I’ve been researching art therapy for a news article I recently wrote on the topic. (It’s about a French hospital using textured murals to relax patients, if you’re interested.) But the more I read, the more valuable art therapy seems as a means of expression.
Great resource here!
