The International Expressive Arts Therapy Association® (IEATA®) celebrates its 30th anniversary by hosting its 16th International Conference, Passport to Transformation: The Expressive Arts as Doorways to Healing! We are excited to announce our “Virtual Doorway,” which will follow our in-person event in June at Endicott College. Our virtual conference highlights the power of the expressive arts in fostering healing and resilience during challenging times. Taking place online for 24-hours on August 1st-2nd, 2025, the conference invites participants from diverse backgrounds—seasoned practitioners, learners, and arts advocates—to explore how the past can inform the future. Through collaboration and creativity, attendees will embark on a transformative journey of innovation, healing, and connection. The best part is, you can join us from anywhere in the world!
