IATA is working on a virtual art quilt on our Instagram page. We invite art therapists to submit images of their artwork in the spirit of connection. Post your image, a brief description, and something about yourself directly to Instagram @illinoisarttherapyassociation with the following hashtag #IATAartquilt. Those who do not use social media can email their content to socialmediachair.iata@gmail.com, and we'll post it for you!
We'd love to virtually connect with all art therapists across Illinois and beyond! |
