COMMUNITY ARTS
Our Mission
At Community Arts Therapy, we blend art and creative play with traditional and alternative therapies to support children, teens, and adults. Our mission is to provide inclusive, accessible spaces where all individuals—regardless of background or ability—can connect with compassionate, artistic therapists. Together, we help you design a personalized care plan to foster healing, stability, and a fulfilling life.
Experience the healing power of creative care.
We provide a safe and compassionate place for you or your loved one to explore themselves and their relationships with others using resilience based activities that support needs. Our tools include art therapy, play therapy, sand tray, EMDR, DBT, along with traditional talk approaches to healing. ​We believe that a multi-modal approach can expand care for your mental health and guide you towards your strength and growth. ​​​

Join us for our Annual
PRIDE Art-Making Event!
Join us for our Annual Pride Art-Making Event—a vibrant, all-ages celebration of identity, belonging, and creative expression in support of our LGBTQ+ community. This healing-centered gathering invites kids, teens, adults, caregivers, and chosen family to come together and make art in a welcoming and inclusive space.
​
Enjoy a variety of hands-on art activities guided by our experienced art therapists. Whether you're exploring new ways to express yourself or creating side-by-side with loved ones, there’s something for everyone.
​
Throughout the day, local LGBTQIA+ artists, activists, and community leaders will offer performances, share resources, and connect you with ways to stay inspired and supported all year long.
​
Come as you are, and leave with something meaningful.

This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Office of Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment.
