Envisage

The Canadian Art Therapy Association Online Magazine: Showcasing the visions, insights, and innovative work of art therapists in Canada and beyond.

Envisage publishes articles online throughout the year. It is circulated by email and social media to our 600+ memberships, and open access to international readership. It is an online publication that is committed to anti-oppressive and anti-racist frameworks in its editorial practices.

Coordinated by a team of dedicated volunteers, with rich and engaging contributions from the Canadian and international art therapy communities, Envisage is a vibrant platform for art therapists to be recognized for their work, to learn from each others’ diverse practices, and to promote art therapy in other professional fields and communities.
