🚨 The University of Utah College of Fine Arts just published a write-up on the four introductory classes we launched last semester. We had classes for each of the main creative arts therapies — music therapy, dance movement therapy, drama therapy, and art therapy.

👩🏻‍🏫 Although I have taught undergraduate “Introduction to Art Therapy” classes in the past, there was something special about creating a class that was open to undergraduates, graduate students, and even members of the community who were interested in learning about the field and whether they wanted to pursue art therapy graduate education.

🖌️ Because these classes all started in the same semester, we had several get-togethers where the students could meet and interact with the other disciplines. We thought they deserved to know that they were part of something big.

💟 The art therapy class filled to the brim with a huge waitlist.

🤐 There is a lot of momentum for CAT higher education right now in our state. I can’t share all the details yet, but it feels like the culmination of all my career dreams to bring art therapy classes back to the University of Utah.
