The International Expressive Arts Therapy Association (IEATA) is a non-profit organization founded in 1994.
It aims to encourage the "creative spirit" and supports expressive arts therapists, artists, educators, consultants, and others using integrative, multi-modal arts processes for personal and community growth.
IEATA provides a professional guild and an international network through sponsoring bi-annual conferences.
It provides a global forum for dialogue, promotes guiding principles for professional practice, and works to increase recognition and use of expressive arts as a tool for psychological, physical and spiritual wellness.
IEATA offers two kinds of registration for professional memberships.
