Dear Fellow Art Therapists,

Your FATA board continues to work on bringing you quality workshops and conferences. Please check the website for updates and feel free to email us direclty from the links provided on the Contact Us page.

We succesfully completed our first continuing education offering of 2009, a Human Sexuality workshop, our first ever partnership with national and international presenters at the YES institute in Miami. Thanks to all who attended. We are excited to report that we are now working on putting together an Art Day, where art therapists and other art enthusiasts will be able to gather for art making, comraderie and networking. Look for additional details regarding dates and locations soon.

I hope this summer will be the time you jump in to our FATA activities! Join us for a conference or workshop, write us with a suggestion or concern, submit a proposal for a presentation you would like to offer. You can also get involved in efforts such as planning and coordinating events, or editing and distributing the e-newsletter, without having a formal position on the board. Its a great way to get your feet wet within the organization. To borrow a phrase often heard in our state at this time of year, Come on in, the water's fine!
