IndiATA is the Indiana Art Therapy Association, Indiana’s state chapter of the American Art Therapy Association.

IndiATA supports professional connection, education, advocacy, public understanding, student engagement, professional exchange, statewide initiatives, and chapter leadership across Indiana.

No. IndiATA is a professional association. It does not provide psychotherapy or match individuals with therapists.

People seeking an art therapist can use IndiATA’s public directory and professional credential-verification resources.

IndiATA is governed by its Board of Directors. The Board consists of five elected officers: President, President-Elect, Secretary, Treasurer, and Delegate to the Assembly of Chapters.

Committee Chairs and Student Representatives are not members of the Board of Directors solely because of those roles. Committee members, project participants, volunteers, and other participation roles are also separate from elected chapter office.

Current 2026 & 2027 leadership information is available on the Board of Directors + Leadership page.

Membership in IndiATA requires active membership in the American Art Therapy Association. IndiATA membership categories correspond, as applicable, to current AATA membership categories and the chapter membership structure authorized by AATA.

IndiATA membership dues are due annually. Current membership categories, eligibility requirements, dues, voting eligibility, and eligibility to hold elected office are available on the Membership page.

No. Some opportunities are specifically for members, while others may be open to students, professionals, organizations, community partners, or the public. Eligibility depends on the particular program, event, project, or activity.

IndiATA holds its Annual Meeting of the membership each September. The meeting includes chapter business, officer and organizational reports, matters requiring member action, and other business properly brought before the membership.

IndiATA meets both in person and on Zoom. Meeting announcements provide the location and Zoom access information for the specific meeting.

Voting rights are determined by the member’s current IndiATA membership category. Current voting eligibility is identified in the chapter’s membership information.

Those voting members present at a meeting shall constitute a quorum.

No. Committee participation is one way to contribute, but it is not the only way to participate in IndiATA.

Other opportunities may include regional meet-ups, finite projects, events, student involvement, professional learning, creative participation, advocacy, public education, collaboration, and other chapter initiatives.

Send it through the Contact page. IndiATA can route the message internally when another chapter role, committee, or initiative is the better fit.

Participation may include a bounded project, regional meet-up, event support, creative contribution, public education, professional expertise, student participation, advocacy activity, shared learning, or another time-limited opportunity.

Yes. Committee Chairs and committee participants are appointed roles rather than elected Board positions. Opportunities depend on current chapter priorities, projects, and capacity.

Student Representatives support communication between Indiana graduate art therapy programs, students, and IndiATA. They are representative and participatory positions and are not elected officers or members of the Board of Directors unless separately elected to an authorized Board office.

IndiATA is developing regional meet-ups and Creating Space Across Indiana to increase opportunities for professional connection, creative activity, collaboration, learning, visibility, and local initiatives across the state.

The Art Therapy in Indiana page provides information about the profession, graduate education, credentials, practice settings, and Indiana-specific professional context.

IndiATA maintains a public Indiana Art Therapist Directory for credentialed art therapists practicing in Indiana. Directory inclusion is informational and does not constitute an endorsement, referral, guarantee of availability, or guarantee of fit.

The directory is open to professionals with a current ATR-P, ATR, or ATR-BC credential through the Art Therapy Credentials Board who practice in Indiana through in-person services, telehealth, or both. ATCS may also be displayed when applicable.

Directory listing is free, membership is not required, there is no paid placement, and participation is opt-in.

IndiATA’s Graduate Programs page provides information about Indiana graduate art therapy programs and connects visitors with each program for current admissions, curriculum, accreditation, and program-specific information.

Yes. IndiATA engages in public education and advocacy related to art therapy, professional regulation, public policy, professional visibility, and issues affecting the profession in Indiana.

Yes. Organizations, healthcare settings, mental health professionals, employers, graduate programs, schools, museums, community organizations, and other collaborators may contact IndiATA about partnerships, referral pathways, professional education, training-site development, events, shared spaces, and other relevant opportunities.

Use the Contact page and identify the type of opportunity you would like to share. IndiATA can review it and route it to the appropriate chapter channel when relevant.
