Our promise: Diversity, equity, and inclusion

We believe the arts should be accessible to all, irrespective of their race, ability, ethnicity, religion, lived experience, geographic location, sexual orientation, gender, or socioeconomic status. We are committed to ensuring our materials and events are inclusive and promote the representation and participation of all groups and individuals.

We welcome your unique perspective

IEATA stands for the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association® — but we are not exclusively for therapists or other clinical practitioners.

Just as our intermodal approach embraces and integrates all kinds of art forms, our community welcomes members of all backgrounds, professions, beliefs, and experiences.

If you are bringing the arts into the world for growth, healing, communication and collaborative learning, then you have a place in IEATA.
