About Exhibition
Graduates of the MSc and MA in Art Therapy at MTU Crawford College of Art and Design bring with them a diverse range of professional experiences, including backgrounds in nursing, teaching, social work, and the arts. This group exhibition presents a collection of response artworks and creative reflections developed by graduates. The works explore themes of identity, transformation, and creative inquiry. Shaped through each student’s personal and professional development during the programme, these pieces offer insight into the depth and complexity of their journeys in becoming art therapists.
