Virginia Art Therapy Association: Chapter Membership Application

Greetings from your friends at the Virginia Art Therapy Association!

We’re extrememly thankful for your involvement in our organization, and the time has come again to renew your membership, or Join for the first time.

This year, it’s easier than ever to renew online!

If you need to renew your AATA membership as well, you can easily take care of both through AATA's membership site.

Our wonderful members have enabled us to offer some great programs in recent years. This September, we held our first Annual VATA Conference in the beautiful new studio space at Eastern Virginia Medical School. Also this year, we were excited to begin holding bimonthly Art for Your Heart events to provide an opportunity for members to gather together for casual conversation, artmaking, and idea sharing. We’re anxious for our Art for Your Heart events pick up steam, and we’d love to see you at one of our 3 locations (Richmond, Virginia Beach, and Fredericksburg) on the 2nd Sunday of every other month! To keep up-to-date on all of our upcoming workshops and events, please visit our website at www.vaarttherapy.org and become a fan of our Facebook page! For ongoing updates on news in the field of art therapy and stories from art therapists in a variety of settings, become one of over 300 followers of our blog at vaarttherapy.wordpress.com

Membership has continued to grow over the last year. This means we are closer than ever to being able to lobby for legislative action on title protection, state licensure, or other actions to help art therapists in Virginia. So, as you are renewing this year, please think of anyone you know who has not joined and urge them to do so!



With sincere thanks,


Erin Kemp, M.A., ATR
VATA Treasurer and Membership Chair
