Hello there, GATA members! I wanted to let you all know about another opportunity to outreach to our community and share our expertise about art therapy. We have been invited by the President of AME (Artists Materials Expo), Tom McDermott, to present at the expo: http://artmaterialsexpo.com/about-us/. We have discussed the possibility of GATA offering two presentations: one would be geared toward students and provide guidelines as to how to pursue art therapy as a career and the second would be more generally about art therapy and how it benefits the populations with which we work. If anyone is interested in being a part of this expo and providing a presentation to educate the Atlanta arts community about art therapy, please contact me! The deadline to provide confirmation of our plans to present is August 15, 2014. Please let me know if you have any questions or are interested in presenting! -- *Anna Ford Smith, LPC, ATR-BC* Licensed Professional Counselor & Registered, Board Certified Art Therapist President, Georgia Art Therapy Association Intensively Trained Dialectical Behavior Therapist 23 Lenox Pointe Atlanta, GA 30324 404-829-4135 www.atlantaarttherapy.com www.georgiaarttherapy.org www.americanarttherapyassociation.org
