   We are a group of therapists interested in making art more accessible to everyone, especially those who may not see themselves as artists. We understand the inherent healing potential that happens in the process of creating art, particularly in community with others, and so we designed our space with that deep healing potential in mind. We believe that creating something is good for the soul’s well being, just as physical exercise is good for the body. Art making brings us back to our senses; it makes us feel connected to our deeper longings; it heals us. Making art in community creates the opportunity for people to share in ways that automatically and deeply builds connection. So, art has the potential to heal us both interpersonally and transpersonally. The staff at BATC share and work toward a common goal – to build awareness around the healing power of art therapy, and to bring art therapy services to persons and communities in need.
