WHEAT invites American and international students to drop in to the magical, sensory world of healing through the arts and discover the arts’ playfulness and transformative power. There are exciting opportunities to train with internationally acclaimed faculty in Winnipeg this summer!

The WHEAT team would like to sincerely thank each and everyone who has supported our work in training art therapists and expressive art therapists in the heart of the prairies! We are excited and honoured to continue our efforts by nurturing the dedication and passion for the therapeutic use of the arts.

On November 11th, the Winnipeg Holistic Expressive Arts Therapy (WHEAT) Institute celebrated the first graduating class of Art Therapists in Winnipeg at the historic St. Norbert Arts Centre.

As the only art therapy training institute in central Canada we celebrated and honoured our first graduating class of Art Therapists on Sunday, November 11th at the St.

Happy fall!

While many students returned to school this past week, our art therapy and expressive arts therapy diploma students have wrapped up their summer intensives and are moving forward with their practicum placements and online coursework.

From August 19-22, 2018, WHEAT Institute Art Therapy and Expressive Arts Therapy Diploma program students studied together under the direction of Victoria McIntosh in the course Indigenous Ways of Knowing Through the Arts.

The days are longer and warmer, which means WHEAT's summer courses have begun! In June we held our final weekend together with our (first!) graduating Art Therapy Diploma cohort. We are excited to host a graduation celebration in the fall.

The Winnipeg Holistic Expressive Arts Therapy (WHEAT) Institute offers diploma and certificate programs that provide students with an experiential and theoretical foundation in the therapeutic use of art, drama, movement and storytelling.

What an inspiring evening Friday, April 20th! Thank you to all those in attendance for supporting the documentary and WHEAT's Scholarship Fund. Little Stones is an amazing documentary exploring art for social change and we are looking forward to planning a second screening in Winnipeg.
