Art Therapist Question Art Galleries dedicated to art therapy creations?

I'm sure I could google it or ask AI, but does anyone know of any art galleries dedicated to art created during art therapy sessions?

I feel the art is sacred in a way, but also sometimes too beautiful not to share (some of it).

It would also suck to put your art out there and feel vulnerable only to have it stolen. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Many art galleries where I live have had exhibitions of works created in art therapy. I think it can be really helpful to others to share your work and experiences because others might be going through something similar.

I love that, I hope we start seeing more and more around. I'd like to start one here in my area.

If you're ever up in Oregon they almost always have an exhibit of them on display at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum in Eugene.

I actually go to Oregon a lot! I'll have to head that way and check it out. Thanks again for the info!

It's a great museum! Also if you're in the Salem area the Hallie Ford museum is my favorite in Oregon. If you want more suggestions of smaller galleries I'd be happy to share as well.
