What makes a house a home? - Cleveland, OH

Legislative Consultant — Thu, 24 May 2012 13:20:51 GMT

Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity

As part of the American Art Therapy Association (AATA) conference in Cleveland, AATA members took part in a service project benefiting Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity. They created a large-scale mural themed "What Makes a House a Home?" for the Restore at Habitat's new Cleveland headquarters. More than 60 18-inch square canvases were sent from art therapists around the country. On November 19, art therapy volunteers worked all day to assemble the works on six giant boards that now hang along the "check-out" wall at the ReStore. Click here for pictures.

"We were both blessed and overwhelmed by the beauty of the project," said Jeffrey Bowen, Executive Director of Cleveland Habitat. In addition to the mural project, members of the Buckeye [Ohio] Art Therapy Association donated 100 art supply kits for the children of Habitat Partner Families.

Violent toys converted into peace sculptures

Legislative Consultant — Thu, 24 May 2012 13:04:00 GMT

By Damon Sims, The Plain Dealer

Art therapists took plastic knives, play guns, miniature military men and other toys that represent violence and transformed them into symbols of peace.

The sculptures that evolved are a project of the American Art Therapy Association's "Piece to Peace Cleveland Project." The association is holding its 39th annual American Art Therapy Conference in Cleveland at the Renaissance until Monday.

The sculptures that were created were to be unveiled at a reception Friday night at the Lake Erie Artists Gallery in Tower City and then donated to four Cleveland agencies: the Domestic Violence Center of Greater Cleveland, the Latino Domestic Violence Project, the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center and Boy's Village.

The Piece to Peace Project was an outgrowth of the associations' art committee goal to bring attention to youth violence while making a connection to the city that hosts the conference.

Art therapists from across the country collected "violent toys" that represent several themes, including using violence to settle disputes and toys that promote violence as fun.

The toys were deconstructed and with the guidance of professional sculptors, the art therapists created five works of art.

One three-foot tall sculpture took the shape of a phoenix, with pink, blue, red and yellow feathers sharing its chicken wire armature with toy soldiers and pieces of plastic guns.

"It is natural for art therapists to address issues of social concern through creativity, art making and human interaction," said Robin Valicenti, an art therapist from Philadelphia who developed the Piece to Peace Project.

The American Art Therapy Association is made up of mental health professionals who use art making to help improve individuals' physical, mental and emotional well-being.

Some people are like magnets. They draw creative ideas, people, and the resources to establish institutions that create community locally and throughout the world. Such is the power of Mary Kathleen McGraw, more fondly known as Mickie. In 1967 she co-founded The Art Therapy Studio (ATS) at Highland View Rehabilitation Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio (now MetroHealth Rehabilitation Institute of Ohio), along with Dr. George Streeter. First known as the Art Studio, the agency will be celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2007.
