This study was conducted for the purpose of investigating art therapy trends and tasks in the COVID-19 pandemic era for art therapists. The results of the survey of 121 art therapists are as follows. First, it was confirmed that art therapists' activity time and income decreased in all areas of art therapy, and in particular, it was found that they had difficulty in job search opportunities. Second, it was found that art therapists are actively responding to COVID-19 by conducting personal quarantine, disinfection, and remote art therapy services. Third, it was found that art therapists expected multilateral help in art therapy in response to the disaster situation brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Fourth, as a task to prepare for the COVID-19 pandemic, art therapists responded that the high need for non-face-to-face intervention and that remote art therapy services should be activated. This suggests that art therapy in the post-COVID-19 era is recognized to proceed in a very different pattern from the current art therapy.
