See it here first. Each year, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) celebrates our talented students completing their degrees. Join us for boundary-breaking, creative exhibitions and events featuring student work. More events will be added.
MAATC Exhibition

SAIC Galleries, Lower Level 2
33 E. Washington St.
33 E. Washington St.
The annual MAATC Exhibition presents the artwork and practices of students graduating with a Master of Arts in Art Therapy and Counseling. The educational aim of this exhibition is to provide an opportunity for students to present their own individual lived practices and collaboratively examine the clinical, ethical, and aesthetic implications of presenting the profession of art therapy through an exhibition. Deeply reflective and inquisitive, the artists present a multitude of approaches, exemplifying the program’s philosophy of integrating the emergent artist-art therapist identity. For more information about the program, visit saic.edu/arttherapy.
Reception: Saturday, January 28, 12:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m.
An Artist Talk and Q&A will be held by the MAATC Exhibition participants during the opening reception on Lower Level 2 from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. CT.
