Expressive Media was founded in 1985 by drama therapist Ellie Irwin and art therapist Judy Rubin, each a pioneer in her field. Colleagues in Pittsburgh since the 1960s, their goal was to educate others to use the arts in treatment in an informed and sensitive way.
There are currently hundreds of hours of clinical and educational footage in Expressive Media’s digital archive; most of it is rare and largely unseen. An invaluable teaching resource, it contains many examples of arts therapies pioneers practicing their specialties. Expressive Media welcomes the submission of footage and finished films in any of the creative arts therapies.
