Overview

Why We Stand Out:

Integrated experiential learning within a comprehensive framework of academic theory, clinical application via an internship program and art practice
A robust program of lectures, conferences, workshops, exhibitions and special projects, as well as opportunities for international study and studio time
The opportunity to study with a diverse group of students as far as age, cultural background and work experience
Flexibility and financial support including part-time options and scholarship opportunities

About the department

The undergraduate certificate program, guided by its founder, Estelle Bellomo, expanded and developed affiliations in a variety of settings and gained a reputation for excellence in both academic and clinical training. Subsequent changes in the field of art therapy made a master’s degree program the natural progression, which was initiated in 2001.

SVA believes in active engagement with the community at large, which allows for utilization of the diverse, innovative, creative atmosphere of NYC and beyond to enhance training.

The Art Therapy program at School of Visual Arts is approved by the American Art Therapy Association, as well as New York State’s Department of Education and is an educational provider for the Licensure in Creative Art Therapy (LCAT) credential by the New York State Office of the Professions, and as such meets the education standards of the art therapy profession.
