SVA Flatiron Gallery
133/141 West 21st Street, 1st floor, New York, NY 10011School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents “together,” an exhibition of multimedia artworks by 13 students in MPS Art Therapy and the people they work with at their internship sites, curated by Elizabeth DelliCarpini, internship coordinator and adjunct faculty. The exhibition will be on view from Wednesday, February 25, through Wednesday, March 18, at the SVA Flatiron Gallery, 141 West 21st Street, New York City.
“Together” the artists are building a safe space to protect and amplify freedom of expression. This community art therapy practice asks participants to acknowledge differences, realign power imbalances, and expand social bonds. The therapeutic goal of the shared experience is to cultivate collective resilience and be stronger together.
MPS Art Therapy is an immersive two-year, 60-credit program that prepares students to become licensed, credentialed art therapists. It integrates the experiential components of art therapy within a comprehensive framework of academic theory, clinical application via an internship program and art practice. Students learn to adapt the creative process to the specific therapeutic needs of the individual, population and setting with a consideration of how systems of theoretical and social constructs impact treatment. SVA believes in active engagement with the community at large, which allows for the utilization of the diverse, innovative, creative atmosphere of New York City and beyond to enhance training.
The SVA Flatiron Gallery is open Monday through Saturday, 10:00am–6:00pm.
