REMINDER:

The registration for this year’s 32nd annual Illinois Art Therapy Conference: “Creating Possibilities: Art Therapy and Resilience in Contemporary Practice”  is officially OPEN!!! Go to www.illinoisarttherapy.org now to access the on-line brochure and register for the conference. 

We have all faced challenges in our personal and professional lives. From natural disasters and economic hardships to the struggles we witness our clients face, we have all depended on our own resilience or have been testimony to someone else’s fortitude at one time or another. Join us as we explore art therapy’s role in helping people emerge from challenging times and celebrate the resilience we witness every day. 

The festivities for this year's conference will begin on October 26th for a kick-off potluck and networking event at Fulton Street Collective, 2000 W Fulton Street from 6-9pm. The conference will be held on October27th from 7:30a-4:30p at the School of the Art Institute,  Columbus Drive Auditorium, 280 S. Columbus Drive, Chicago IL. Following the conference, there will be a closing reception at the school's Sullivan Galleries, 33 S. State Street, Chicago IL.

This year’s conference hosts over 30 presenters, including art therapists, dance movement and music therapists, counselors and educators, with a total of 6.5 Continuing Education Units available. Presentations, panels and workshops offered throughout the day will focus on how resilience transcends struggle and hardship, with topics such as social justice, grief and bereavement, economic struggles and contemporary art therapy practices. With compelling presentations, workshops and panels, increased time for networking, and a location in the heart of Chicago, you do not want to miss this year’s conference.

We’re looking forward to seeing you in October!
