INTERNATIONAL EXPRESSIVE ARTS THERAPY ASSOCIATION

The International Expressive Arts Therapy Association (IEATA) is a United States 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in the mid-1990s and incorporated with Tax ID/EIN 94-3203797; it positions itself as an international professional association that advances expressive arts practice and education. ([ieata.org](https://www.ieata.org/about-us/))

IEATA operates as a member-led association that administers professional registrations (REAT and REACE), regional groups, continuing-education offerings, and a biennial international conference to support practitioner networking, standards, and training.

In recent years the organization has updated key professional materials and operating requirements — including a revised REAT Code of Ethics (Dec 2023) and a REAT continuing-education requirement implemented 09/01/2024 — and it reports modest annual revenue and expenses consistent with a small professional association.
