“The Artistry of Psychoanalysts,” which was so popular and exceeded all attendance expectations at APsaA's 2009 National Meeting last January, will be held again at the 2010 National Meeting on Friday, January 15 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Herbert Hoover Suite in the Waldorf Astoria in New York.
The successful 2009 photography showing is being brought back in a new and larger venue and expanded to include both photography and painting. At the first exhibition, 50 photographs done by our colleagues were shown and a professional photographer discussed them.
Psychoanalysts are known for their sensitivity to the suffering, conflicts, and inhibitions of their patients. What is less well known is that many are also sensitive and talented artists. This exhibit provides a forum for that expression and an opportunity for sharing those visions and talents with others. You are eligible to participate if you are a member, Affiliate member, or Associate of APsaA or a member of IPA or IPSO.
Please plan to exhibit your photographs, paintings, watercolors, and other work. And be sure to see the exhibit because I know from past experience the art will be moving, stirring, and even spectacular. We have a lot of talent among us. You may show your portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and other work.
