  • Here Is an Example of a Heading #1
    • • • April 5, 2021 Dear Member of Congress, As a National Partner of the National Arts Action Digital Summit 2021, the American Art Therapy Association (AATA) is calling on Congress to increase current support and funding for federal agencies and programs that promote, sustain, and support the arts and the creative arts therapies in all areas of American life. The mission of the AATA is to advocate for expansion of access to professional art therapists and advance art therapy as a regulated mental health profession, working in concert with our 38 state and regional chapters. Art therapy is a mental health profession that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active art-making, the creative process, and applied psychological theory within a psychotherapeutic relationship. It offers a means of communication for people who cannot find the words to express anxiety, pain, or emotions. Art therapists are clinicians, educators, and researchers with Masters-level degrees or higher, trained in art and psychotherapy. During the Coronavirus pandemic, art therapists have been on the frontlines, both risking their safety in-person as essential workers and supporting Americans via teletherapy through loss, isolation, depression, and other challenges. Art therapists are keenly aware of the serious mental health needs of children and adolescents caused by the pandemic, the consequences of prolonged isolation of older adults, the added toll on LGBTQIA mental health, as well as persistent disparities in access to mental health services among Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. We thank Congress for passing the American Rescue Plan which provided critical support for the arts, mental health, and those who have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.

  • Johnny Cash Returns to ‘Stamping Ovation’ Legendary Singer Is Second Inductee Into Multi-Year Music Icons Series
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Mark Saunders June 5, 2013 [email protected] 202-268-6524 usps.com/news Release No. 13-056 To obtain a high-resolution of the stamp image for media use only, please email [email protected]. Johnny Cash Returns to ‘Stamping Ovation’ Legendary Singer is Second Inductee into Multi-Year Music Icons Series NASHVILLE — John Carter Cash, Rosanne Cash, Larry Gatlin, Jamey Johnson, The Oak Ridge Boys, The Roys, Marty Stuart, Randy Travis and other entertainers paid tribute to Johnny Cash as he was inducted today into the Postal Service’s Music Icons Forever stamp series at the Grand Ole Opry’s Ryman Auditorium. “With his gravelly baritone and spare percussive guitar, Johnny Cash had a distinctive musical sound — a blend of country, rock ’n’ roll and folk — that he used to explore issues that many other popular musicians of his generation wouldn’t touch,” said U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors member Dennis Toner. “His songs tackled sin and redemption, good and evil, selfishness, loneliness, temptation, love, loss and death. And Johnny explored these themes with a stark realism that was very different from other popular music of that time.” “It is an amazing blessing that my father, Johnny Cash be honored with this stamp. Dad was a hardworking man, a man of dignity. As much as anything else he was a proud American, always supporting his family, fans and country. I can think of no better way to pay due respect to his legacy than through the release of this stamp,” said singer-songwriter, producer John Carter Cash, Johnny Cash’s son.

    Robert Geary, Artistic Director PRESENTS Artistic Director MARTIN BENVENUTO Welcome to the Third Annual Festival of New Music for Treble Voices The idea for the festival sprang from the realization that several of the most nationally- and internationally-acclaimed treble choirs, all leaders in commissioning and performing new music, reside in the Bay Area.

Active as a clinician, panelist, and guest conductor, Benvenuto is also Artistic Director of WomenSing, and has served on the faculty of the Piedmont East Bay Children’s Choir.

His choirs have earned high marks in international competitions in Argentina, South Africa, Canada, Hungary, and Spain.
