Art Therapists for Equality Group

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to share this website with their community standards, anti-harassment policy, and equity and inclusion statement. My mom goes to this place up by Honesdale, PA for her illustrator's retreat that was originally called Highlights Foundation. They have a strict zero-tolerance for any kind of harassment, bullying, etc. when people go on retreats there. I feel like this is a good example of how easy it is to have a policy or two and give a sense of security to the people who are going to these retreats.

Hello everyone!😁

Hope you are having a great weekend.

Friendly reminder that we have our next Community Meeting tomorrow, Monday, October 5th, at 4:00PM PST / 7:00PM EST!

Topics include the upcoming AATA Conference (e.g. infographics and talking points), BoD nominations, among others. If there is a specific topic you want to discuss, please leave a comment. We will make sure to include it in our meeting!

We hope you join us! Come as you are: We appreciate you spending some time towards the change we want to see.

Have a great weekend!

I just got an email from AATA yesterday for this meeting tomorrow. Please check your emails because you'll need to register. "The 2026 Call for Nominations is now open! Join the Nominations Committee for an informational meeting on Wednesday, September 30, at 7pm ET.

Committee members will explain the nominations process, tell you more about the various roles, and answer your questions. It's a no-pressure space to learn more and see how your interests and experience could make a difference."

"All AATA Members may attend and nominate candidates. Elected positions are open to Credentialed Professional, Retired Professional, Professional, and Honorary Lifetime Members."

Hey all,

I was on the fence on attending the AATA conference this year and I would like to go, but with the hotel, I would need 2 roommates to offset the cost. I would prefer to room with students/new professionals. If anyone knows of anyone, let me know!

Thank you!! :))
