“There is a crack, a crack in everything / That’s how the light gets in…” - Leonard Cohen

Welcome to How the Light Gets In, a newsletter from Alexandria Art Therapy. On the ground, we’re an art therapy practice in Alexandria, Virginia, and we believe that regular doses of creativity foster an authentically healthy life. If you’re local, you might be interested in our newsletter to learn more about workshops or therapy services.

Beyond traditional announcements & updates, we’re writing about what it means to be a complicated, creative human living in uncertain times.
