NIGAT
The Northern Ireland Group for Art as Therapy (NIGAT), formed in 1976 and a Registered Charity since 1989, is a membership organisation which supports art therapy in NI and promotes an understanding of the value of art as therapy. NIGAT welcomes as members all those interested in the creative therapeutic process. NIGAT is administered by a Voluntary Committee. NIGAT's founding was inspired by Rita Simon, pioneer UK art therapist in the 1940s and a founding member of BAAT in 1964. Rita Simon promoted art therapy in NI in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980's and beyond.
