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!
