❍ Connect with colleagues from around the world 
❍ Make art and experiment with new techniques

In-person attendees will receive a 50% discounted rate for the virtual conference. Register before July 23 to receive Early Bird rates!

As part of our annual in-person conferences, AATA also hosts Advanced Practice Courses, which are optional ticketed events prior to the conference officially opening. This year’s Advanced Practice Sessions will be held on Oct. 6 before the Opening Reception.

Full-Day Advanced Practice Courses are seven-hour didactic postgraduate-level educational sessions with an “experiential” component designed to engage all participants in a process, including art directives through which they will gain hands-on experience and mastery over the material covered. Half-Day Courses are three-hour long sessions. 

Advanced Practice Courses are limited to 30 attendees. Register now to secure your seat!

Gain distinction among the art therapy community, including art therapy practitioners, clinicians, researchers, educators, and students!
AATA's annual conferences offer organizations, educational institutions, and art supply companies visibility through event marketing, digital platforms, and promotional materials. In addition, sponsors can showcase their supplies or offerings in the Exhibit Hall or provide hands-on demonstrations for attendees.This year's Exhibit Hall will be in the same room as the Open Art Studio, which is the heart of the conference — so you can be assured of plenty of foot traffic!
