The Intro Workshop Series offers introductory explorations into fundamental aspects of art therapy practice. These online workshops are designed for individuals who are curious about or already engaged in art therapy. Prospective students considering the art therapy diploma program at KATI can attend these workshops to assess whether art therapy is the appropriate career path for them and to establish a solid foundation for further study.

Workshops in this series can be used towards the 30-hour admission requirement for enrollment in the online hybrid delivery format of the KATI program.

For each workshop in our intro series we reserve one seat, free-of-charge, for a BIPOC registrant planning to attend the KATI diploma program in the following school year. Click Register for the workshop of your choice to claim the seat, if still available.
