Valley Art Center's Art Therapy Opportunities

The Valley Art Center now offers in person art therapy group and individual sessions to the Northeast Ohio area.
​
Art therapy is using art in a therapeutic way to support overall wellbeing and building an understanding of yourself. Art therapy is about the process of creating art, not creating a perfect masterpiece, which opens the door for ANYONE to be an artist. The benefits of art therapy include, but are not limited to, growth in emotional expression and understanding, social skills, self-awareness, and identity exploration.

A wide range of media is used in the VAC Art Therapy program: Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Papermaking, Weaving, Sculpture, and more.
