We had a fantastic MATA meetup at AATA's 54th annual conference in San Diego, bringing Marylanders together on the West Coast! The connections made with art therapists nationwide at #AATA2023 were truly enriching!
MATA All Member Gathering
The MATA board organized an in-person gathering in Baltimore, MD. This long-awaited meetup brought together members of the Maryland Art Therapist 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 discovered inspiration around every corner. We ended our gathering down the street at the Pickett Brewing Company for some much-needed catch-up.
