Dear MATA members and friends, 

As many of you know, the Missouri Art Therapy Association (MATA) is the proud sponsor of the Carol Lark Art Therapy Award. Each year, MATA offers a monetary scholarship to one 2nd or 3rd-year Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) Master Art Therapy Counseling student who has demonstrated an exceptional commitment to promoting art therapy in the community through research, volunteer or clinical work.

MATA is seeking your support in this endeavor. 

On Saturday, October 7th, 2017, we will have our first event to raise funds for this award. It will be a wine tasting and silent auction at Parker's Table in St. Louis. Please mark your calendar and plan on attending. More details will follow later in the month. 

At this time, MATA is asking for items to offer at the silent auction. 

We are looking for art, craft, and even products or services if you know of a business interested in supporting this cause. 

Please contact Fabia at fabiadamore@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to contribute with an item for the silent auction. 

With your help and support, MATA will continue to offer this award in the years to come for talented and committed SIUE Master Art Therapy Counseling students. 

Thank you!
