 AATA NewsIntroducing the AATA2024 Virtual Conference Plenary: The Arts & Health Continuum – A New Perspective
From the White House to the World Health Organization, policy makers have begun pushing to integrate arts in physical health care, beyond mental health and well-being. For the art therapy profession, these trends provide an opportunity to reassess our guiding principles and chart a dynamic future. In this plenary session, panelists will discuss how the arts are emerging as the next frontier in health and well-being, as more federal and local governments, healthcare systems, and cultural institutions are increasing their arts and wellness programming. Featuring AATA President Nadia Paredes; Dr. Nisha Sajnani, Director of the Jameel Arts & Health Lab; Dr. Marygrace Berberian, NYU Graduate Art Therapy Program Director and AATA Board Member; and Yazmany Arboleda, New York City’s inaugural People’s Artist at the Civic Engagement Commission
This conference will be unlike any other virtual experience — with opportunities to engage and connect with art therapists and students from around the world.
