The International Association for Creative Arts Education and Therapy (IACAET) proudly announces the launch of the IACAET Arts & Health Series, beginning in July 2025. This series aims to explore the dynamic intersections of arts and health from historical, contemporary, and future perspectives.

This high-profile global initiative will feature pioneers and experts from around the world, fostering dialogue, research, and innovative practices.
