Welcome
The Art Therapy Studio is the oldest expressive arts therapy program of its kind in the
country. Since its inception, our programs have been developed around the philosophy that
art making is central to healing and wellness. In the safe, creative space of the studio, a
person is invited, guided and encouraged by the highly trained, credentialed art therapist to
rediscover him or herself through the art making process.
In 2008, we embarked on a strategic planning process with the help of a consulting group.
Teams were formed to focus on key areas of development: Programs, Finance,
Communications, Operations and People & Processes. One of the major outcomes was our
new Mission Statement:
Enhancing the quality of life for children
and adults affected by spinal cord injury,
brain trauma, stroke and multiple sclerosis
through the therapeutic use of art.

how it may affect you, please visit

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES (posted 6/2010)
We are looking for professionals to help us implement our strategic plans. Volunteering is a
great way to develop or strengthen your project management and leadership skills. The Art
Therapy Studio, founded in 1967, helped support the emotional health of over 1,600 people last
year. Through art therapy, people can begin to cope with trauma, be supported in their rehab
goals, and express themselves visually in the compassionate environment of the studio.
For more information about the specific volunteer opportunities and about the Art Therapy
Studio click here. Thank you for considering our request.
