Professional Development Events

Professional development events are workshops and activities designed to enable individuals and groups to enhance their professional capacity.

As an organization, KATI is committed to offering art therapy education extending beyond the Diploma Program into a wide range of professional development for art therapists and other professionals in the fields of therapy, health and education. From time to time, we offer workshops and conferences for professional development.

Open Studios

Open Studios are drop-in art-making spaces held by art therapists or art therapy interns and open to the public.

During the school year, KATI offers a variety of open studios, both in-person and online.

We invite a small donation to cover the cost of art supplies, although no one is turned away due to lack of funds.
