Why AT+MAG<\/strong><\/p>\n Art Therapists have a deep relationship with the subject of art, art-making and visual culture.\u00a0 Art galleries and Museums are dedicated places where objects and artefacts are displayed and conserved for the general public.\u00a0 They are a rich resource of artistry, stories and creativity.\u00a0 Museum and gallery collections offer inspiration and opportunities beyond art appreciation.\u00a0 The act of looking and relating is a central theme of the work in art therapy as it is in museums and galleries.\u00a0\u00a0 Here at ATMAG, we hope to tap into the emotive potential of museum and gallery collections, to complement the role of art for therapeutic purposes to help affect change and growth. \u00a0We are keen to create collaborative projects with MAG on this basis in order to reach out to people who may \u00a0benefit from them.<\/p>\n \u00a0About Art Therapy<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Art Therapists working in Museums & Galleries Handout<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Working with art therapists<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello and welcome to the ATMAG website.\u00a0 This is the website for the British Association of Art Therapists‘ Museums And Galleries Specialist Interest Group.
