MATA Gathering
September 2023 – The MATA board organized an in-person gathering in Baltimore, MD. This long-awaited meetup brought together members of the Maryland Art Therapy Association for a day of shopping and socializing. We started our adventure at SCRAP, a unique and eclectic thrift store, where we stumbled upon unexpected gems and ended our gathering down the street at the Pickett Brewing Company for some much-needed catch-up.
