CALLING ALL CREATIVES!

Help support the Pennsylvania Art Therapy Association’s (PAATA) licensure movement through creativity! We're launching a t-shirt design contest fundraiser and inviting art therapists to submit original designs that respond to the prompt: “Art therapy is…”
Two winning designs will be selected by the PAATA Board based on visual appeal and fundraising potential. Designs will be judged anonymously to ensure fairness, and the t-shirt will be sold on PAATA's merchandise store which is coming soon to our website to raise money for our licensure efforts.
Artists may include a small signature in a corner of the design, which will appear on the final printed shirt.
