IACAET and IEATA Form Reciprocal Organizational Membership

Date: August 20, 2025

The International Expressive Arts Therapy Association (IEATA) and the International Association for Creative Arts in Education and Therapy (IACAET) have entered into a reciprocal organizational membership, marking a new chapter of connection between two leading international bodies in the field of creative and expressive arts.

IACAET—headquartered in Delft, the Netherlands—is now listed among IEATA’s global partner organizations, reflecting a shared commitment to advancing creative arts in education, therapy, and community practice worldwide.

What does this mean for both communities:

• Broader global reach for events, exchanges, and initiatives.
• Stronger professional networks linking practitioners across continents.
• Increased opportunities for dialogue on the role of the arts in education, therapy, and cultural exchange.
