CALL For Papers - Now Open 

Please consider presenting at this year’s Symposium!

Preferences for presentation dates will be considered but cannot be guaranteed.

• This year, we are prioritizing proposal topics and techniques specifically related to:  Expressive Arts Therapy

“Expressive Arts utilize visual arts, music, dance/movement, drama/theater, poetry/writing, and other creative processes in an intermodal, integrative approach to foster deep personal growth and community development.”

“Expressive Arts Therapy,” as defined by IEATA, is a therapeutic model that engages multiple expressive arts modalities with an intermodal approach in order to facilitate an integrative experience involving the threading of: visual arts, music, dance/movement, drama/theater, poetry/writing, and other creative processes.”

- International Expressive Arts Art Therapy Association (2026) https://www.ieata.org/glossary/

• Proposals which highlight the implications and impact of expressive and creative arts therapy research in practice are especially welcome.

Your knowledge, expertise, and experience in the field of art therapy are valuable!

We depend on your active participation in order to provide quality and informative workshops, lectures, and presentations.
