Art therapy in the United States has historically failed to document the contributions of people of color in the foundation of the profession. The American Art Therapy Association sought to correct the record when it created the criteria for the Meritorious Contribution award. This honor was conferred on 4 Black art therapists--Georgette Powell, Cliff Joseph, Lucille Venture, and Charles Anderson--for their enduring involvement in the field through their commitment to multiculturalism, diversity, social justice, and advocacy. The visionary approaches of these 4 individuals set the foundation for art therapists to develop cultural competence and humility.
