The Minnesota Art Therapy Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of art therapy in Minnesota. "Art therapy is the therapeutic use of art making, within a professional relationship by people who experience illness, trauma or challenges in living and by people who seek personal development. Through creating art and reflecting on the art products and processes, people can increase awareness of self and others, cope with symptoms, stress and traumatic experiences, enhance cognitive abilities, and enjoy the life affirming pleasures of making art.” ~ American Art Therapy Association

Art Therapy: The Movie is a feature documentary about the innovative ways art is being used around the world to overcome emotional challenges and traumatic experiences. We’re profiling some incredible stories, including: a group of art therapy students traveling to the Dominican Republic to work with a group of orphans long forgotten about; art rehabilitation programs for inner-city youth in North America; and chronicling the devastation of natural disasters in Haiti and Japan and how art is helping in the healing process. Three journeys, three continents, and one ultimate goal – discovering the innovative ways art is being used to empower the human soul. Help us make the film by backing us here on Kickstarter. |
