What is Art Therapy?
What is the LAC Fund?
From The President:
2008 has begun! With this New Year comes an opportunity
for NYATA to build upon its rich foundation and venture towards new
beginnings. The NYATA Board is currently working towards hosting some
exciting events this year. Career Night will be held in April on Long
Island, the NYATA Juried Art Show will be held in the summertime in New
York City, and the NYATA Symposium will take place on October 25th in
Westchester, NY. Along with infusing newness into our annual events, we
are also committed to alternating the days/nights and locations of the
events to make them as accessible as possible to the Art Therapy
community. Details of all the upcoming events will be posted both on
the NYATA website and the NYATA e-group.
It is always a great sign of the times when Board Members
continue to serve throughout the years. We have been fortunate to
maintain a healthy Board comprised of Art Therapists who contribute
their time and talent towards representing a strong community of over
400 members. With any successful organization, the participation of
membership is of utmost importance so whether you are a new member or a
renewed member, THANK YOU for your support. As NYATA continues to grow,
we invite you to become more involved with helping NYATA to better
serve the New York Art Therapy community by joining the Board, serving
on a committee, and/or lending a helping hand at NYATA events.
On behalf of the NYATA Board we would like to thank Susan
Boxer Kappel, MA, ATR-BC, CGP, LCAT for not only her contributions as
NYATA’s President over the past two years, but also her ongoing
dedication to the NYATA Board. We are delighted that Susan will be
remaining on the Board serving as Chapter Delegate to The American Art
Therapy Association (AATA).
It is an honor to be serving as President of NYATA during
a time of amazing growth and advancement of the Art Therapy profession.
Please contact me with any questions, suggestions and feedback or just
to say hello.
Take care,
Chriss Berk, MA, ATR-BC, LPC, LCAT
