Themed calls for art submissions

All artworks are welcome to be submitted. We also have some special calls for themed artworks.

Art therapy with people who have experienced trauma

This special issue of the International Journal of Art Therapy seeks to advance our understanding of how art therapy can help adults and/or children who have experienced trauma.

We are calling for artworks to represent ways in which art can be helpful to people who have experienced trauma.

Everyone is welcome to submit art-based responses via our Art Therapists’ Art & Open Gallery. Submissions can include photography, still images of artwork, or video art (max 1 minute).

All artworks which meet the gallery requirements will be included in the online exhibitions. One artwork from the online galleries will be selected to be published on the front cover of the special issue.

Please see the guidance and requirements for art submissions.

Submissions are open now until 30 October 2023.
