CREATIVE ARTS THERAPIES WEEK

INVITATION TO THECREATIVE ARTS THERAPIES SYMPOSIUM

March 19, 2016-University Concordia

This year, Quebec art therapists are uniting under the theme of “How does Creative Expression Promote Well-being?” This theme fully evokes the needs of the body, spirit and heart. Experiencing, tasting and feeling one’s well-being will occur in a creative space where gestures, movements, sounds, colours and words meet and come to life. Art therapists in Quebec use an artistic and therapeutic approach to bring out the full potential of individuals or groups. It is in this context that l’Association des art-thérapeutes du Québec (AATQ), l’Association québécoise de musicothérapie (AQM), l’Association de dramathérapie (NADT) and l’Association de thérapie par la danse et le mouvement (ATDM) is organizing a symposium on art therapy on March 19, 2016 at the Concordia Atrium.
