"The demands of a grief-stricken public are now compelling cultural institutions around the country to create trauma-aware initiatives that put their art collections and educators at the forefront of a mental health crisis created by the pandemic and the worldwide protests over police brutality and racism after George Floyd’s killing." - Zachary Small, New York Times. Check out this article about how many art museums are seeking to incorporate art therapy practices into their programming amid the current mental health crisis.

MPS Art Therapy students staying connected with community by sharing art online! First-year students, Missy Rubenfeld and Ella Hilsenrath created the Facebook Group, "Quarantine Quilts" to "create a safe space and provide other people with a sense of continuity and routine every day. Each patch of the quilt represents what the quilter was going through and a reminder of how they got through this." via @watchintheknow @watchintheknowcreative The group was recently featured in a video and article by In the Know (ITK). Thanks to everyone helping to keep us connected during this period of social distancing Join the Group to participate!

Crawford College of Art and Design in Cork, Ireland, SVA MPS Art Therapy's program partner for our annual international exchange program, has created a website to support our artistic community during this challenging time.
