Expanding diversity in the field of art therapy to include Black men has been a vision of mine since my interview day at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. From my experience of attending a Historically Black College, I have an understanding of the benefits that establishing art therapy programs at these institutions could have, not only for art therapy but for HBCUs. There are 103 HBCUs in existence, and not one has an established art therapy program. A 2013 demographic survey of art therapists by the American Art Therapy Association showed overwhelmingly disproportionate demographics, with 93.4% being female, and 87.9% White. This means that there is a demographically disproportionate ratio between therapists and the clients they serve. I questioned if this was healthy for the therapeutic environment, and saw a need for change and action. Informed by research by Awais and Yali (2015), who surveyed the efforts that have been made to increase diversity in art therapy programs, I decided to interview HBCUs about their receptiveness to art therapy education, and also to interview schools with existing art therapy programs. In interviews with Florida State University, Pratt Institute, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, Albany State University, and Bowie State University, I explored what could be done to introduce art therapy education at these institutions. Another component of my research was gathering the stories of Black male art therapists, learning how they were drawn to the field, and their inspiration for the work they do. I conclude that intensive outreach to HBCUs is necessary, to raise awareness of art therapy as a profession, to create a demand for art therapy education at those institutions, and ultimately to increase ethnic and gender diversity by drawing Black men into the field.
