Abstract
The pending graduation of the ten pioneering South African art therapists from the Department of Visual Art (DOVA) at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) is a case for celebration and a long-nurtured dream for many involved in this training. I am not an art therapist and am not familiar enough with the field of practice and literature. I consider myself an artist, art activist, and educator. As the professor in charge of postgraduate studies in our department, as well as a fierce advocate for enhancing arts education for social impact, I found myself holding and facilitating the first visual art therapy training in South Africa, which is also, as I understand, a first for the continent.
