Sarah Jones During my semester on the Chicago Arts program, I liked the many arts field trips we took. I went to places and shows in the city that I probably would not have been able to go to, if not in the program. I enjoyed the encouragement of the faculty and my internship, which made me interested in pursuing art therapy as a career.
