Welcome to the Georgia Art Therapy Association


What is GATA?
The Georgia Art Therapy Association (GATA), a statewide non-profit organization, was founded in 1978. GATA is an affiliate Chapter of the national organization, The American Art Therapy Association, Inc. (AATA). Members belong to both organizations, but GATA also includes those who support the practice of art therapy, as a Friend of GATA.  We seek to educate other professionals and the public about the benefits of art therapy.

If you have recently joined the Georgia Art Therapy Association, please contact Erin Rudzewicz in order to receive instructions on the use of our listserv.

Welcome to all of our New GATA members. Hope to see you at our next quarterly meeting.

Art Therapy

Art therapy is the clinical application of art and psychology as a vehicle for communication, healing, and growth. Self-expression through the arts engages the creative process and helps clients gain insight, and fosters a sense of well being. Sometimes feelings are too difficult to talk about and the process of art therapy can make verbal expression more accessible.
