In the wake of 2020's racial tension and civil unrest in the United States, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) art therapists and graduate students found themselves in need of support from like-minded, social justice-oriented peers. A virtual monthly peer support group called the BIPOC Art Therapists' Circle was formed. A different member selected reading materials to which members created response art. Outcomes of the Circle include: shared experience of oppression; connection and empowerment through art sharing; safety; emotional support and validation; vulnerability and authenticity; widened perspectives; and motivation to advocate outside of circle meetings. The experience of the BIPOC circle confirms its critical importance as a source of support for BIPOC art therapists and students.
