About us
Welcome to the Art Therapy Research Community Network! The Art Therapy Research Community Network emerged following many years of collaborative work with our team and with many of you. Our goal was to systematically explore the status of art therapy research, identify research gaps, and develop a sustainable research agenda for the profession. We created this website to present and share the cumulative results, ongoing community building, and implementation plans for our Art Therapy Research Strategic Plan. The launch of this website provides not only extensive descriptions of the creation and implementation of the Art Therapy Research Strategic plan, but also interactive mechanisms by which you can join and build an art therapy research community essential to creating, operationalizing, and sustaining a viable research initiative.
We hope you will join us!

We extend our appreciation and gratitude to the American Art Therapy Association for funding our project
