We are transforming a dilapidated warehouse into a global center of Art, Creativity & Consciousness ~ A Nexus of Spirit, Art & Nature
Poised to Launch! For 4 years we have offered successful programs... but we have lacked our own dedicated space. We now have a building! ~ situated next to an International Yoga Retreat Center that draws thousands of guests from around the world, near the 'City of Peace" (Assisi, Italy) that draws millions of pilgrims. We are poised to launch an International Center for the Arts! We are bursting at the seams with people, energy, and programs that are ready to go- from weekend workshops with globally renowned artists and visionaries, to an after-school arts program for our local school.
Why this project is POWERFUL...An Arts Center and MORE!
We are creating a Center for the Arts- and something more... the Academy of Art Creativity and Consciousness is a living HIVE where artists and creatives from around the world come to learn & share, explore & collaborate. Together we are POLLINATING THE FUTURE with new energies, ideas, and ways of Being. We have a unique approach; we use all the modalities of the Arts as vehicles for Awakening to Life- recovering the passion, potency and authenticity of the Soul.
Like a dandelion ready to seed, one puff of breath will send 100 projects into orbit...
We are a vibrant community of artists, creatives, entrepreneurs and visionaries from many countries. Our new building is currently in the final phase, with framing, electrical, and plumbing nearly complete- only gallery lights, floor & heating to go! With one last push we can open the doors to a THRIVING center of Art & Consciousness!~
• Classroom • Gallery • Studios
CLASSROOM~ A welcoming and nurturing environment for people of all levels to express creativity.
• Everyone can discover the Transformative Power of Creativity! At the Academy, students with no talent or experience work alongside practicing artists, together discovering the joy of an inexhaustible fountain within. When we open the aperture of the inner life we access a vitality and sense of purpose that reinvigorates our lives.
GALLERY~ A Nexus for Vanguard Visionaries
• A place a connection for the emerging field of 'Art & Consciousness'; a gathering place for painters, potters, sculptors, musicians, dancers, poets & playwrights- artists of film & multi-media, visionaries of sound & light...'Troubadours of Transformation’ who are using the modalities of the Arts to awaken the higher potentials of humanity.
STUDIOS~ A Creativity Laboratory
• A Space for exploration & production- serving resident artists and visiting artist programs. In the heightened state of creative flow, insight and revelation stream through us...we become vehicles for TRANSFORMATIVE POWER.
WE ARE IN MOTION!
- Our new space that is ALMOST ready to host workshops with globally renowned luminaries such as Jim Channon (scheduled for September 7-9), and concerts with acclaimed musicians such as Simon Tandree (scheduled for August) , exhibitions with beloved artists such as Sandro Da Verscio (Opening September 1st), an After-school Arts & Crafts Program (beginning in September), PLUS a full calendar of programs that include community gatherings, daily and weekly classes, kirtans & more~
Look where we started...
What We Need To Finish...
We are currently working hard on the construction of the interior and exterior of the building. Here's where we need your help:
• A dance floor that will cover the existing concrete floor in the main gallery (crucial for our dancers and it will also make the gallery look gorgeous)
• A heating system for the coming winter...brrrrr
• Gallery Lighting & Hanging System The final crucial element to make an exhibition space!
