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

the community. The gallery director-reporters interviewed each
other to write profiles of the other organization. The resulting
