Emerging Identity
The work in this exhibit culminates in the final year of training for students in the art therapy program in the AT 583 Studio Art Therapy Course. The students are tasked with creating a body of art that explores their art therapist identity and artist identity as they complete their training as art therapists.
The art therapy graduating class of 2024 presented their capstone projects throughout the day on April 8 and April 15, both in-person in the South Chapel on the graduate school campus and broadcast via Zoom. The presentation schedule is below.
